Gemologist: Keeneland September Yearling sale preview

Gemologist will be represented by 60 yearlings from his first crop in the Sept. 14-26 Keeneland September sale, among the highest number of offerings for any sire whose first foals are yearlings of 2015.

Highlights of Gemologist’s offerings include hip No. 925, a colt out of the Mineshaft mare Impending Storm, who is a daughter of multiple Grade 1 winner November Snow and from the same family as Grade 1 winner Morning Line; hip No. 1459, a colt out of Ruthian, dam of millionaire Grade 1 winner Ruthienne; and hip No. 1613, a the first filly out of Charlie’s Legacy, whose sister Shameful is the dam of 2-year-old filly champion Indian Blessing.

Standing at WinStar Farm for $15,000 live foal in 2015, Gemologist was undefeated at age two, winning the Kentucky Jockey Club S. (G2) and then taking the Wood Memorial (G1) the following year. In yearling sales earlier this summer, the WinStar stallion had session-topping colts that went for $280,000 and $240,000 at the OBS August Select Yearlings sale.
