Undefeated General Graham Tops Keeneland April Selected Horses Of Racing Age Sale

---

Jethorse LLC paid $375,000 for General Graham (Omaha Beach), a 3-year-old undefeated ridgling who won in starter allowance company Keeneland on April 8, to post the highest price of Friday’s April Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale which followed the races on closing day of the Spring Meet.

Consigned by Kenneally Racing, agent, General Graham is from the family of Horse of the Year Sovereignty. He is out of Grade I-placed Giant’s Causeway mare Flying Spur.

“We’re delighted with General Graham,” consignor Eddie Kenneally said. “Two for two, hasn’t done anything wrong–beautiful, big horse. He’s a horse that we bought in a package as a yearling, and the intent was to sell. That’s kind of what we do. We run these horses. Try to get some success at the track and sell them when they appear as though they’re moving forward. (General Graham) certainly does appear as though he’s moving forward. I think he’s got a big career ahead of him.”

“He’s bred to run all day, he’s from a fantastic family, and I think he’s a horse with a bright future.” @ScottFDTV spoke with @kenneallyracing about hip 14 GENERAL GRAHAM selling this afternoon at #KeeApr. pic.twitter.com/Kp2hCPbnT4

David Meah of Meah/Lloyd Bloodstock, as agent for Michael Iavarone and TCC Stables, spent $310,000 for Peak Perspective (Mineshaft), a 2-year-old filly who is entered in Wednesday’s Kentucky Juvenile Stakes at Churchill Downs. Third in her maiden special weight debut at Keeneland on April 15, Peak Perspective will remain with trainer Ben Colebrook, who consigned the filly in the name of his Colebrook Stables.

“She was definitely on our radar (after her Keeneland debut),” Meah said. “Immediately after the race, Mike and I had a phone call about ‘Hey we need to keep an eye on this horse, try and buy her privately.’ I called Ben, and Ben told me we’re going to the Keeneland sale. Everybody wants to support Keeneland–it’s a great place, right? So we’re going to leave her with (Colebrook), and we’re going to run next week.”

Keeneland sold 12 horses for a total of $1,697,000. The average was $141,417, and the median was $102,500.

“The April Horses of Racing Age Sale was a lively and fitting close to the Spring Meet,” said Keeneland Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy. “There was a big crowd in the Sales Pavilion with a lot of people coming down from the races and carrying that same energy right into the sale. It was an engaging way to cap the day and send off the Spring Meet in celebratory style.”

The 2026 Keeneland Spring Meet concluded Friday with jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr., trainer Brad Cox and owner Godolphin topping their respective categories.

Ortiz, Jr. defended his Fall Meet title from 2025 with 22 wins, earning five more than Flavien Prat (17). Luis Saez and Jose Ortiz tied for third with 15 apiece. Ortiz, Jr.’s biggest wins of the meet came with a pair of Grade I’s in the Toyota Blue Grass and the Resolute Racing Madison Stakes.

Brad Cox secured his ninth training title, recording 17 wins from 43 starts. Wesley Ward, who notched a milestone 300th Keeneland victory Friday, was second overall at the meet with 10 victories from 38 starts.

And Godolphin earned their seventh owner’s title with four total wins, breaking ahead of a tie for second between 11 different owners each registering two wins.

All-sources wagering (excluding whole-card simulcasting at Keeneland) totaled $209,351,173 this Spring–an 8.65% increase over the total of $192,676,486 wagered during the 2025 Spring Meet. Average daily purses for the season set a Keeneland record of $1,379,520 while races averaged 8.3 starters per race.

“Spring at Keeneland always carries a certain energy, and this meet captured that spirit in every way,” said Keeneland President and CEO Shannon Arvin. “From the quality of the racing to the enthusiasm of our fans, it was a season that reflected the very best of what makes this place so special.”

“The Spring Meet is always a reminder that it takes an entire community to make something like this feel special,” added Keeneland Vice President of Racing Gatewood Bell. “You see it in the horses who show up ready to run, in the care and preparation from our trainers and horsemen and in the skill and determination of the jockeys in the saddle. We’re grateful to every connection who chose to be part of it, and to all those working behind the scenes who keep things moving each day. It’s something we’re proud to share with our fans, and we don’t take any of it for granted.”
