Over 11 days of selling, November 8-18, the combined Kentucky November market saw 2,428 horses sold for a gross of $238,052,300, an average of $98,045 and a $30-million (11%) decline in gross receipts from the corresponding 2019 sales. Considering that 14% fewer horses (4,092 from 4,769) were catalogued this year and 13% fewer sold (2,428 from 2,795), the overall average actually gained 2% from last year’s $95,939, and certainly the overall mood of the thoroughbred auction market, since the Tattersalls October yearling sale, has been one of great relief that the market is holding up much better than many feared.

It was quite striking that the market for fillies and mares was considerably stronger than for weanlings in Kentucky. This had been the case at Fasig-Tipton and Keeneland Books 1-3, and that trend continued in Books 4-5. The difference in the two markets is very noticeable. From 1,570 weanlings catalogued, there were 816 listed as sold, for a 52.0% clearance rate from the catalogues. They grossed $50,564,200 and averaged $61,966. In 2019 there had been 2,026 weanlings catalogued between the two sales, of which 1,011 sold (49.9%), grossing $67,281,200 and averaging $66,549. So there were 23% fewer weanlings catalogued and 19% fewer sold (the clearance rate actually improved by 2%), for a 25% decline in gross and a 7% decline in average.

Though the weanling market dropped by 20%-25%, the case was quite different for all non-weanlings, overwhelmingly fillies and mares plus a scattering of racehorses. Of all non-weanlings, there were 2,522 catalogued (a decline of 8% from 2,743 in 2019), 1,612 sold (down 10% from 1,784), which was 63.9% of those catalogued (65.0% last year) – a clearance rate almost 12% higher than for weanlings. The 1,612 sales grossed $187,488,100 and averaged $116,307; last year the 1,784 non-weanlings grossed $200,869,200 and averaged $112,594, so the non-weanlings were down just 7% in gross (weanlings down 25%) and were up 3% in average (weanlings down 7%). It seems that the breeders were feeling more optimistic about the medium term than the pinhookers were about the short term.

Having said that, the weanling market at Tattersalls December Sale, the foal portion of which actually took place November 25-28 in Newmarket, was not so far down. Though the number catalogued was down 17% from last year (1,125 to 934), the number sold was down just 5%, from 663 to 628, so the clearance rate from the catalogues was up a hefty 8%, from 59% to 67%. The gross dipped by 11%, from 29,338,300 gns in 2019 to 26,255,100 gns, while the average was down just 6%, from 44,251 gns to 41,807 gns.

At the North American mixed sales through November 21, Coolmore Ashford’s 2018 Triple Crown winner Justify finished up the leading sire by average for weanlings, with eight sold for an average of $381,250. Veterans War Front ($325,000 average) and Tapit ($295,000) each had just two sell, and Into Mischief, now with his second sire championship locked up, and probably his fourth title as Leading Sire of 2-year-olds in the last five years locked up too, had nine average $281,667. Lane’s End’s City of Light had 12 weanlings from his first crop average an impressive $216,000, while Ashford’s pair of American Pharoah (12/$205,833) and Uncle Mo (11/$204,545) also averaged over $200,000.

Among sires with their first weanlings selling, besides Justify and City of Light, Hill ‘n’ Dale’s Good Magic (10/avg $104,000), Ashford’s Mendelssohn (19/$95,737), and Spendthrift’s Bolt d’Oro (22/$93,136) averaged ~$100,000. Of the sires whose first foals are yearlings, Claiborne’s Mastery (8/$152,125) had the highest weanling average, ahead of Juddmonte’s deceased Arrogate (7/$131,429) and Three Chimneys’ Gun Runner (7/$131,286), with Ashford’s Practical Joke (18/$91,111) also achieving a high average. Darley’s Leading Freshman Sire, Nyquist, had 10 weanlings average $161,000 to easily lead the group of sires with their first 2-year-olds; Taylor Made’s Not This Time (6/$97,833) also nearly hit the $100,000 average target, while among sires with their first 3-year-olds, American Pharoah and WinStar’s Constitution (6/$114,167) topped the charts.

Four sires averaged over $700,000 for mares sold in foal, plus Medaglia D’Oro had one mare sell in foal for $750,000. Quality Road (4/$871,250) was the leading covering sire by average, followed by Into Mischief (13/$831,154), Justify (10/$791,500), and Curlin (9/$748,333). Uncle Mo (19/$512,632) and War Front (5/$495,000) came next.

A total of 15 sires from the five youngest sire crops averaged over $75,000 for their in-foal mares. Among sires with their first 3-year-olds, American Pharoah (19/$351,667) and Constitution (19/$302,895) were among ten sires whose in-foal mares averaged over $300,000, plus Lane’s End’s Liam’s Map (13/$81,115) also sold well. Nyquist (19/$223,526) was the only representative with his first 2-year-olds. Of sires with their first yearlings, the three crop commercial leaders continue to be Arrogate (12/$205,417), Gun Runner (7/$148,429), and Mastery (19/$76,526). Five sires with their first foals averaged over $75,000 as covering sires with their second crops: Justify (10/$791,500), plus City of Light (20/$222,500), Airdrie’s Collected (7/$147,143), Bolt d’Oro (7/$84,143), and Good Magic (19/$75,579). Among sires represented by their first mares in foal, Spendthrift’s Omaha Beach (15/$165,800) and Claiborne’s Catholic Boy (19/$152,211) set the pace, with WinStar’s Audible (8/$97,125) in third.
