Enthusiasm For Dispersals Energizes Day Two Of Keeneland January Sale Sponsored by:
Hip 587, Danceforthecause from the Sam-Son Farm Dispersal, brings $925,000 at the Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale.
Two prominent dispersals – 20 broodmares, yearlings and horses of racing age sold by Lane s End, agent for the Complete Dispersal of the Estate of Paul P. Pompa Jr., and 21 in-foal broodmares owned by Sam-Son Farm, the acclaimed breed-to-race operation in Ontario – fueled brisk commerce on Tuesday s second day of the Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale.
A horse from each dispersal sold for $925,000 apiece to lead the session. Via phone bidding with a Keeneland representative, Peter Brant s White Birch Farm paid the amount for the third horse in the ring, Regal Glory, a multiple graded stakes winner for Pompa. Later in the day, Gainesway Farm purchased Danceforthecause, in foal to Twirling Candy, from Sam-Son to equal the price.
