Kip Elser, Kirkwood Stables:Quote about the Keeneland Yearling Sale – Book 1
“I think the top of the market as always is very, very strong as you can see by some of the bigger buyers teaming up. And I think the middle market is still very, very solid. You can buy horses, but you better be prepared to pay a bit over your original appraisals if you want to get the ones you really like.
