Kentucky remains at the center of Thoroughbred racing and sales this fall as Churchill Downs hosts the Breeders’ Cup World Championships just before the Keeneland November Sale. As evidenced in 2015, the international appeal of the Breeders’ Cup being hosted in Kentucky positively impacts the November Sale as horsemen from across the U.S. and around the world attend the world championships and stay to participate in the sale. Sellers may take advantage of this unique opportunity to showcase the best horses in the world to a global audience, adding further depth to Keeneland’s incomparable buying bench.
