INTO MISCHIEF YEARLINGS TALLY 10% OF KENTUCKY GROSS
Date:

Though the full extent of the decline in the European yearling market won’t be known until after the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, which gets underway October 6, it is striking that the European sales to date, similarly to the two Kentucky sales, have been down almost exactly a third in gross revenues. According to statistics compiled from sales company websites and expressed in £ sterling as all the Irish yearling sales have been held in England this year, by the end of Goffs Orby sale October 1, the European sale gross was down 32%, from £120-million in the corresponding sales last year, to £82-million this year. Similarly, the Fasig-Tipton Showcase Sale and the Keeneland September Sale combined grossed $310.7-million, a 33% drop from the $462.7-million realized in the corresponding sales last year (or 32%, from $454-million, if we assign half of last year’s NY-bred sale to the Fasig-Tipton Mid-Atlantic Sale October 5-6).
There were also striking similarities in how the one-third drops in gross came about. There were 12% fewer catalogued in Kentucky (compared to the three usual Fasig-Tipton sales: July yearlings, Saratoga, and NY-breds, plus Keeneland September), 6% fewer catalogued in Europe, but both sets of sales had 15% withdrawal rates from the catalogs. There were 19% fewer sold in Kentucky than in the corresponding sales last year, 18% fewer in Europe. In the end the clearance rate from the catalogs dropped by 5.4% in Kentucky but, so far, by 8.9% in Europe, and the average in both places is down by 17%, from $132,318 to $109,842 in Kentucky, and from £56,984 to £47,287 so far in Europe – though it must be noted that Europe’s biggest sale is just getting underway at this writing.
Darley’s flagship sire, Medaglia D’Oro, stood for his highest amount ever, $250,000, in 2018, and has duly topped the sire averages for the first time at this point in the sales season, with 22 yearlings (of 40 sent through the ring, from originally 60 catalogued) averaging $560,227 for the sire of 21 worldwide G1 winners. But equally impressive was the commercial performance of Spendthrift’s Into Mischief, Leading Sire in North America in 2019 and in the lead again this year, who has now fully arrived commercially to reflect his progeny’s racetrack performance. From 128 yearlings originally catalogued, so far he has had 105 go through the ring, with 74 sold, for an average of $434,405, and a gross of $32,146,000 – over 10% of the total gross of the Kentucky sales. That’s some achievement.
A total of 16 sires had 10 or more yearlings sold and averaged over $150,000, at all North American yearling sales through October 1. Tapit (26 sold/avg $407,115) ranks third by average, followed by Quality Road (stood for $70,000 in 2018, 35 sold/$371,943), War Front (13/$344,846), Curlin (36/$342,028), and Uncle Mo (42/$293,476). Three Chimneys’ Gun Runner (39/$267,692) and Juddmonte’s unfortunately deceased Arrogate (36/$243,806) topped the sires with first yearlings. Darley’s Nyquist (49/$186,857) led freshman sires, with their first 2-year-olds, while Ashford’s American Pharoah (38/$253,816) and WinStar’s Constitution (28/$159,179, off a 2018 stud fee of $25,000) were the top second-crop sires, with their first 3-year-olds. Older sires Pioneerof The Nile (41/$249,220), Speightstown (26/$217,692), Candy Ride (39/$195,128), and Ghostzapper (33/$169,848) also averaged over $150,000.
Behind Gun Runner and Arrogate, four other first-crop yearling sires sold very well: Claiborne’s Mastery (52/$140,567); Ashford’s pair of Practical Joke (58/$135,448) and Classic Empire (50/$102,510); and Spendthrift’s Lord Nelson (29/$96,724). After Nyquist, the top freshman sires with 10+ sold were Taylor Made’s Not This Time (32/$135,503); Darley’s Frosted (39/$75,859); and WinStar’s Speightster (31/$73,758). Among sires with their first 3-year-olds, Lane’s End’s Liam’s Map (31/$82,677) ranked third by average with 10+ sold, although, with nine sold, Gainesway’s Karakontie, not for the first time, made quite a splash, averaging $86,911, including a $500,000 colt and $220,000 filly in Book 5.
