There is no greater proof-point of the World’s Yearling Sale’s significance than results in 2020. Last year, September Sale graduates dominated the sport, claiming 59 Grade/Group 1 and 222 graded/group stakes wins.

Seven September Sale graduates won Eclipse Awards as North American champions, and seven more were Breeders’ Cup winners. They include the likes of Kentucky Derby and Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Authentic, Kentucky Oaks winner Shedaresthedevil, and multiple Group 1 winner Con Te Partiro.

Con Te Partiro (USA) was a two time Group I winner in Australia.
