Hollywood Park stakes winner American Lady headed a subdued Day 4 at Keeneland’s November Sale at $350,000.

“It’s a selective sale,” Nicoma Bloodstock’s Headley Bell said.  “It’s just what the market is and really there are no complaints.  As a seller, you hope you have the goods.  As a buyer you’re kind of specific about what’s available.”

American Lady (Stormy Atlantic) was offered as a racing or broodmare prospect by Kaleem Shah after a career so far that has garnered three wins topped by the LR Reminiscing Stakes.  The four year-old grey mare was purchased by Kentucky nursery Castleton Lyons.

“We haven’t quite decided yet whether she will remain in training,” said Gabriel Duignan who is a director of Castleton Lyons.  “We will look at her x-rays again and make a final decision shortly.”

American Lady is a half sister to The Pamplemousse (Kafwain).  He was a G3 winner of the Sham Stakes and San Rafael Stakes in 2009.  “She’s outstanding physically and comes from a family with a lot of talent,” Duignan added.  “We were stretching on her.  Her price was retail.”

Keeneland officials reported Day 4 turnover of $18.56 million on Friday.  The average increased 5% to $82,891 but the clearance rate dropped 6 points to 71%.

The Keeneland November Sale continues through to November 16.
