Dreamloper, Quick Suzy and Caravel among choice lots as Keeneland sale kicks off

The 2.5 per cent share of Flightline being sold will be headline news that is hard to trump, but, with 3,700-plus horses catalogued, there is so much more to Keeneland's November Breeding Stock Sale, which starts on Monday.

The sale covers ten sessions through to Wednesday week and features a number of proven producers, broodmare prospects and weanlings with connections to horses who ran at the Breeders’ Cup.

European interest in a stunning Book 1 session will be drawn to Dreamloper (lot 239), the penultimate horse through the ring on Monday.

The five-year-old finished unplaced in the Breeders' Cup Mile on Saturday but has been a star performer for the Ed Walker yard, winning this year's Prix d'Ispahan and Prix du Moulin.

The daughter of Lope De Vega was bred by Olivia Hoare out of Teofilo's daughter Livia's Dream and raced under her name at Keeneland; prior to that she had run for owner Jason Fill.

Following her into the ring and closing out the first session will be the supplemented Take Charge Angel (239A), whose half-brother Cave Rock finished runner-up in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. She is offered in foal to McKinzie.

Like Cave Rock, Nest was a defeated Breeders' Cup favourite, in her case in the Distaff when fourth - her dam Marion Ravenwood (187) is offered for sale carrying a full-sibling as she is in foal to Curlin.

Caravel (224), meanwhile, sells with a huge update, the five-year-old daughter of Mizzen Mast having won the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint from Emaraaty Ana and several other European raiders.

Grade 3 winners American Apple (234), who was sixth in the Juvenile Turf Sprint, and Edgeway (156), seventh in the Filly & Mare Sprint, will also come under the hammer.

Five-time Grade 1 winner Midnight Bisou (235), who sold for $5,000,000 at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale two years ago, goes through the ring again.

Another of note from a European perspective is three-year-old filly Quick Suzy (142), who won the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot in June for Gavin Cromwell and Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners.

The Book 1 action begins on Monday at 1pm (6pm GMT) local time, after the sale of the share in Flightline at 12.30pm.

Books 2, 3 and 4 follow on and each take place over two days, with Book 5 running over three days. The separate November Horses of Racing Age Sale takes place on Thursday week. All of those sessions begin at 10am local time.
