couple during the first five sessions for a total of $3.28 million.

There were several other yearling consignors with Florida ties during the initial days at Keeneland including Meg Levy’s Bluewater Sales; Richard Kent’s Kaizen Sales, Craig Bernick’s Glen Hill Farm and John and Susan Sykes’ Woodford Thoroughbreds. At press time, several more local yearling consignors were expected at Keeneland during the second week of the auction. We anticipate that they will generate several million dollars in continuing revenues.

The Keeneland economic ripple in Florida stretches far beyond the sales ring, of course. A quorum of graduates— from auctions in Kentucky, New York, Maryland, Florida and beyond—quickly board vans headed South to training centers owned and operated by world-class horsemen where they will take advantage of reliable weather and the pristine facilities in learning how to train and race.

It is estimated that the thoroughbred population in Marion County and surrounding areas swells to as many as 38,000 with the influx of fall yearlings, joining the thousands of other thoroughbreds who also reside and train here.

Thoroughbreds create more than 21,000 jobs on nearly 200,000 acres of farms and training centers locally and generate a state-wide economic stimulus greater than that of major league baseball’s spring training.

Whether it is Florida-bred yearlings selling for millions of dollars throughout North America or thousands of thoroughbreds and horsemen generating millions of dollars in local goods and services during all months of the year, a few weeks at a Kentucky auction paint the rich picture of healthy Florida thoroughbred commerce.
