![]() Glenye Cain Oakford: Brian Graves stretched his budget to pay $300,000 for a chestnut Candy Ride yearling (Hip 379) he intends to prepare for resale at a select yearling auction later this year. Warrendale Sales, agent, consigned the March 2-foaled yearling, who is the first foal out of the Gentlemen mare Gentlemen’s Crown. The mare is a half-sister to Chocolate Candy, making the $300,000 colt closely related to that graded winner and Grade 1-placed runner.

![]() Shadai Farm adds Secret Gypsy for $540k Day 2 at Keeneland
Tuesday’s session returned to earth, a day after Monday’s opener rang up large gains in gross and average, but cumulatively the first two sessions were running ahead of last year’s. On Tuesday, Keeneland sold 205 horses for $8,912,600, down 22 percent from last year’s one-day total for 228 horses, and the average price of $43,476 was off by 13 percent. Buybacks were up slightly, from last year’s 22 percent to 24 percent. But thanks to Monday’s sparkling figures, the 2011 auction’s first two sessions together remained on the upswing, with a 9 percent gain in gross and a 13 percent increase in average. Together, the two days sold 392 horses for $19,600,200, resulting in an average of $50,001. The median - both for Tuesday’s session and cumulatively - was $20,000, on a par with last year’s. Cumulative buybacks increased, rising from 26 percent to 30 percent. More importantly, the $20,000 median was exactly level with last year, a sign that the market is showing stability, as breeders and consignors had hoped.
