The weanling market continued to provide whatever spark the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale was able to muster Nov. 12, the 10th day of the 15-session event.

An Indian Charlie weanling colt out of Willa Time, by Gilded Time, brought the day’s highest price of $110,000 when Shannon Run Stables bought the colt out of the Eaton Sales, agent, consignment.

The weanling’s third dam, Willamae, a stakes winner herself, has produced Travers Stakes (gr. I) winner Will’s Way and Ashland Stakes (gr. I) victor Willa on the Move.

A Tapit   weanling colt provided the second-highest price on the day when Whitechurch went to $77,000 to purchase the colt, who is out of the Wolf Power mare Miss Pine Top Az., a stakes-placed winner. Miss Pine Top Az. also produced the graded stakes winner Savorthetime. The colt was consigned by Warrendale Sales, agent for Highland Oaks Farm.

The session’s third-highest price of $65,000 was paid by Tom Gentry, agent, for a filly by Congaree   out of Irish group victor St. Clair Ridge, by Indian Ridge. She was consigned by Eaton Sales.
