Through the first seven sessions of the Keeneland September yearling sale, familiar faces Curlin, Into Mischief and Gun Runner lead all stallions in average sale price by sire. 

Not only does the current $5 million sale topper belong to Curlin, but his offspring were averaging a high of $579,432 through Monday’s session. 

Here are the top three sires by average sale price:

Next, let’s take a look at the first-year sires. Charlatan and Maxfield are generating significant interest, averaging more than $260,000 each.

Looking at second-year sires, we see the effect of the current 2-year-olds on the racetrack. Complexity and Vekoma are off to fast starts with their juveniles, and McKinzie is represented by Grade 1 Hopeful winner Chancer McPatrick.
