Blind Luck, the 2010 champion three-year-old filly, will be offered at Keeneland's upcoming November Breeding Stock Sale. The daughter of Pollard's Vision will be offered as Hip 210A, the final horse sold at session one on  November 7.

Owned by Mark DeDomenico, John Carver, and Peter Abruzzo, along with her Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, Blind Luck won a total of six Grade 1 races. She won Grade 1 stakes at two, three and four including the Hollywood Starlet, Oak Leaf, the Kentucky Oaks, Alabama, Las Virgenes, and Vanity. A 10-time graded stakes winner, she earned $3,279,520 racing at eight different tracks across North America.

Blind Luck will be consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency as agent. Her dam, the Best of Luck mare Lucky One, sold for $1.85 million at Keeneland's 2010 November Sale while carrying a full sibling. She is line bred to Chris Evert, herself a champion three-year-old filly and Hall of Fame member. 

"This filly has proven herself beyond a doubt to be one of the top horses over the past two decades," Hollendorfer said. "She has won on different surfaces, on both coasts and against the best fillies in America including Horse of the Year candidate Havre de Grace. Blind Luck is easily the best filly I ever trained. She's special."

"We are very fortunate to include Blind Luck, one of the best fillies of our generation, in our November sale," said Walt Robertson, Keeneland's Vice President of Sales. "She's an outstanding champion filly and we are honored to include her in our catalog."

Blind Luck joins seven other Grade 1 stakes-winning fillies and race mares who will be offered at Keeneland's November Sale -- Buster's Ready, Gypsy's Warning, Hooh Why, Life at Ten, Royal Delta, Switch and Unrivaled Belle.

The November Sale will be held November 7-17. Sessions begin at 10 a.m. (ET) each day.
