“The fact that there are eight million-dollar horses so far is very rewarding, and I would say that’s because the market has improved,” said Keeneland’s Director of Sales Geoffrey Russell.
“Once the buyers got their feet wet, it seemed like they worked pretty hard today,” said Keeneland’s Vice President of Sales Walt Robertson. “The sellers certainly had a gauge of the market today that they didn’t have yesterday.”
