The Keeneland September Yearling Sale in Kentucky is one of the biggest thoroughbred horse racing auctions in the world.

Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin purchased a colt by Curlin (winner of the Preakness Stakes, Breeders' Cup Classic and Dubai World Cup) out of New Zealand champion sprinter Bounding for $4.1M USD (HIP 274).

The colt became the most expensive yearling sold at public auction anywhere in the world in 2019.

They also acquired a grey colt by Tapit (HIP 75), who is a half-brother to Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist (Breeders' Cup Juvenile) for $2.5M USD.
