After two grueling weeks of marching at the Keeneland September Sale and a careful observance of over four thousand horses, the results are in and overall numbers suggest that things are trending upwards and the market is stabilizing.

The average price of a horse at the sale was $102,549, which is up 3.26 percent from last year's average of $99,312. The median price tied the sale's all-time high of $50,000, also achieved the previous two years of the sale.

In addition to purchasing five yearlings for our pinhooking partnership and two for our racing partnership, Hidden Brook's consignment was able to gross $2,939,200 over the course of the sale.

Selling highlights for Hidden Brook included Hip #'s 474 and 622, who each sold for $420,000 and $450,000, respectively. Other notable prices from the consignment include Hip #341 for $225,000, Hip #1480 for $270,000, and Hip #341 for $225,000.

We would like to take this moment to thank all of our owners and purchasers, as well as all of the Hidden Brook team who helped run our consignment.

Hidden Brook partnership filly Catch My Drift followed up her stakes win on August 24th with a 3rd place finish in the G1 Beldame Stakes at Belmont Park on September 26th, bringing her lifetime record to 10-4-2-1 and adding more black type to her resume.

In the very next race at Belmont, partnership filly Neck of the Moon lived up to her name, winning by a neck in the 6th race and improving her record to 13-4-3-4.

Catch My Drift and Neck of the Moon were purchased by Hidden Brook for $95,000 and $60,000, respectively - a total of $155,000 - and in these forty minutes alone they combined to bring home a sum of $92,000.

Throughout their careers they have combined to accumulate $534,715.

Four-year-old Catch My Drift is by Pioneer of the Nile and out of Drift to the Lead. Five-year-old Neck of the Moon is by More Than Ready and out of Cotopaxi. They are both trained by Chad Brown.

At the 2015 Keeneland September Sale, Hidden Brook purchased several horses for both their racing and pinhooking partnerships.

For their racing partnership, Hidden Brook made two purchases: Hip #1926 for $180,000, and Hip #2851 for $55,000.
