Keeneland January Sale Recap | 2026 Purchases

The Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale is a foundational sale on the Thoroughbred calendar. It is where breeding programs are built, broodmare bands are strengthened, and young horses are secured with an eye toward the future. The sale rewards discipline, patience, and a clear plan.

McMahon & Hill Bloodstock approached Keeneland January with that mindset and came away with eight horses for a total of $255,000, focusing on value, pedigree strength, and horses that offer multiple paths forward across racing and breeding.
