To Highlight Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale
Keeneland Release
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 81st 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, who is chairman of The Jockey Club, is 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, a Racing Hall of Famer who was foaled at Claiborne and now is buried there, 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 Kentucky Derby (G1) 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.
Claiborne’s Seth Hancock noted, “The relationship between the Janney family and Claiborne goes back even before the days of Ruffian. No one has shown more energy, passion and love for the game than Stuart.”
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 who is the dam of Grade 3 winner Scarlett Sky. A half-sister to Grade 3 winner My Impression, she 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.

“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.”
