Sale Update

Another Keeneland September Yearling Sale in the books. We closed out the 2026 sale with just over $3 millon in earnings, and sent every yearling to a new home. Good luck and a big thank you to all the buyers who bought from our consignment. And a special thank you to our whole team for putting in the extra hours to make such a successful sale happen.

"I've found that you have to be really good at one thing. So, if somebody says that Dixiana is really good at raising a good horse, that's all I would want"
