Bah.

And I just realized Keeneland wouldn't care, as don't they still get their commission?
Yes, as Chuck said. However, the deal is worked out in advance -- sell, RNA, how high, etc., and both Keeneland and the consignor cut a deal. I am sure it's far off the usual percentage. There would have to be some deal in place if a sale takes place afterward.
