LEXINGTON, KY—Keeneland will catalog 13 broodmares—in foal to such stallions as Good Magic, Life Is Good and Not This Time—and two broodmare prospects in the Complete Dispersal of Breeding Stock for Stuart S. Janney III for its November Breeding Stock Sale, which will begin Tuesday, Nov. 5 and run nine sessions through Wednesday, Nov. 13. Claiborne Farm is handling the consignment.
Janney is chairman of The Jockey Club and a lifelong Thoroughbred breeder and owner. He was introduced to racing through his parents, Stuart and Barbara, who bred and owned the beloved filly Ruffian and such horses as Grade 2-winner and sire Icecapade and Grade 1-winner and sire Private Terms. For many years, the Janney family has boarded mares at Claiborne.
In 2013, Janney raced Grade 1 Kentucky Derby presented by Yum Brands-winner Orb in partnership with Phipps Stable. His other top racehorses include graded stakes-winners Ironicus, Data Link, Hit It Rich, On Leave, Hymn Book and Air Support.
These Janney mares are cataloged in Book 1 on Nov. 5:
- In a Hurry, a stakes-winning, multiple graded stakes-placed daughter of Blame in foal to War Front.
- Mata Mua, a winning daughter of Arch and the dam of Grade 3-winner Scarlett Sky. Mata Mua is a half-sister to Grade 3-winner My Impression and is in foal to Life Is Good.
- Secure Connection, a winning daughter of Data Link who is a half-sister to Scarlett Sky and is in foal to Not This Time.
Session 2 on Nov. 6 includes these Janney horses:
- Gun Boat, a stakes-placed daughter of War Front out of Grade 3-winner Onus cataloged as a broodmare prospect.
- Hold Harmless, a winning daughter of Blame and the dam of stakes-winner and multiple graded stakes-placed Limited Liability.
- My Impression, a Grade 3-winning daughter of Sky Mesa in foal to Candy Ride (Arg).
- On Leave, a multiple graded stakes-winning daughter of War Front in foal to Street Sense. She is a half-sister to Grade 2-winners and sires Ironicus and Norumbega as well as Grade 3-winners Hunting and Quiet Harbor.
- Onus, a Grade 3-winning daughter of Blame in foal to Violence. She is the dam of Gun Boat.
- Pruning, a daughter of Uncle Mo and a half-sister to Onus in foal to Good Magic
Additional Janney mares in the catalog are in foal to Maclean’s Music, Munnings, Silver State and War of Will. The second broodmare prospect is Take a Break, a 4-year-old winning filly by Quality Road out of On Leave.
“Stuart Janney and his horses have long represented quality and class, and Keeneland is honored to present this dispersal at the November Sale,” Keeneland Vice President of Sales Tony Lacy said. “Mr. Janney has developed these bloodlines for generations and these families will be highly prized by breeders and owners.”
