Prices fall at Keeneland January sale
LEXINGTON, Ky. — The top price at the opening session of Keeneland’s January Horses of All Ages Sale was $325,000 paid for stakes-winning Miss Catalyst.
The 4-year-old filly by Mr. Greeley, currently recovering from a stress fracture in her left hind, was consigned as a racing or broodmare prospect and purchased Monday by Randy Gullatt, manager of Steve Davison’s Twin Creeks Farm near Versailles.
