161 horses sold during the one day session for just over $11 million

Mick Wallace, agent for Ghandarvi, paid $1 million for a two-year-old colt by Into Mischief (Harlan's Holiday) who is from the family of multiple Grade 2 winner and successful sire Munnings (Speightstown) during the Keeneland's one-day November Horses of Racing Age Sale. 

During the sale, 161 horses sold for $11,029,500, for an average of $68,506 and a median of $35,000.

"It was a very healthy day of trade," Keeneland Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy said. 

"There was plenty of action in the barns, in the back rings and a lot of action in the Repository. We know this is a really good time of year for people who are trying to reorganize their barn to transition horses in or out of their programs. They are looking for horses to run at Oaklawn or Fair Grounds or other winter tracks, and here they are able to do their homework and be well educated on the horses that are in front of them. It's very welcome for both buyers and sellers." 

The sale topper was sold by Highgate Sales, agent and is out of the unraced mare Gaudete (Distorted Humor) who has produced four winners including the Graded placed colt Snowboarder (Raven's Pass). Gaudete is herself a half-sister to Munnings and stakes winning filly Munnings Sister (Speightstown) being out of La Comete (Holy Bull). 

Highgate Sales, agent, was the leading consignor with sales of $3,383,000 for 15 horses. Highgate also sold a two-year-old daughter of Practical Joke (Into Mischief) for $560,000 and a juvenile colt by Street Sense (Street Cry) for $450,000. Both were purchased by CHC Inc. 

The Practical Joke filly is out the Dixie Union (Dixieland Band) mare Competition and from the family of Grade 1 winners Sailor's Valentine (Mizzen Mast) and Coup de Fusil (Codex).

The Street Sense colt is out of winning mare Sweeter Than Ever (Exchange Rate) from the family of Grade 3 winner Bibury Court.

CHC Inc bought four horses for $1,385,000 to be the leading buyers.
