Keeneland April 2yo sale horses

Sale-topping, $700,000 Unbridled's Song - Eden's Causeway half-sister to Grade 1 winner Eden's Moon.

While directing traffic at the Wavertree Stables consignment at the Keeneland April sale, I was able to sneak in occasional shots of their horses as they were out showing to prospective buyers. Cards in one hand, camera in the other...and with 25 two-year-olds in the barn, there was a lot of traffic to direct, so the pictures are what they are...

Wavertree had a well-prepped group and ended up with six of the top ten most expensive horses of the venue, including the sale-topping Unbridled’s Song filly and a pretty special Broken Vow filly out of Kootenai.
