Interview with Vice President of Sales Walt Robertson

The five grade 1 prep races for the 138th Kentucky Derby were won by five different horses—Dullahan in the Toyota Bluegrass, Take Charge Indy in the Florida Derby, I'll Have Another in the Santa Anita Derby, Gemologist in the Wood Memorial and Bodemeister in the Arkansas Derby. But there is one common thread for that group—all five were sold at Keeneland.

Walt Robertson, Keeneland's vice president of sales, proudly notes that 20 of the 28 graded stakes races on the Derby prep trail were won by graduates of the sales ring here.

UPDATE: The video was recorded before Mark Valeski was withdrawm from Derby. There are now 11 out of 20 Keeneland sales grads in the Derby field.
