Keeneland Internet auction yields five sales

Five of the 108 yearlings offered were reported as sold during the recently concluded Keeneland Internet RNA auction for yearlings that failed to reach their reserves during the recently concluded September yearling sale.

The five yearlings that sold—only 4.6% of those offered during the cyberspace sale—brought a total of $27,800 and an average of $5,560.

The Internet auction's top price was $15,400, paid by Jim Melvin Akerlind for a colt by multiple Grade 1 winner Marlin that originally failed to sell in the seventh session of the live sale on a bid of $14,000.

Originally consigned as the property of Columbiana Farm, the colt is out of the Judger mare Say What You Mean, a half sister to the dams of champion Jewel Princess and graded stakes winner Globalize.

Other yearlings sold included a filly by Barkerville out of Mint Banquet, by Key to the Mint, for $5,500 and a filly by 1997 Horse of the Year Favorite Trick out of the Lost Code mare Wig Wag for $2,500.
