Kela's first yearling at public auction sells for $30,000!

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

At the recent Fasig Tipton July Yearling Sale, the first yearling offered at auction by Kela brought an impressive $30,000.

Consigned by Burleson Farm, Hip #304, a bay filly out of the dam Kidnap Katie was purchased by Leprechaun Racing, a group that syndicates its sales purchases to race and-or pinhook the following year.

Offspring by Kela have commanded an impressive amount of attention at public auction thus far. His first crop weanlings averaged three times his stud fee at $22,000 and if the Fasig Titpton sale is any indication, the upcoming Keeneland September Sale should be quite successful for the promising young stallion.
