Keeneland catalogs 191 juveniles for April sale

A total of 191 horses have been cataloged for the Keeneland April

Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale, which this year will span two evening sessions

on April 8-9. Each night session will commence at 7 p.m. (EDT).

Prospective buyers will have an opportunity to see the two-year-olds perform

under tack during a one-day Preview Show on April 7, beginning at 10:30 a.m.

"We are very excited about the changes in date and format, which will make

the sale more convenient for horsemen," said Geoffrey Russell, Keeneland's

director of sales. "First, we've moved the dates forward on the calendar to Blue

Grass S. (G1) week, when many horsemen are already here. Secondly, we have

scheduled only one Preview Show, as preferred by all. And finally, we believe

that dividing the sale into two sessions will allow buyers more time to evaluate

the horses."

Humor, Dixie Union, Dynaformer, Elusive Quality, Empire Maker, Forestry,

Fusaichi Pegasus, Giant's Causeway, Gone West, Harlan's Holiday, Hennessy,
