The Keeneland September Yearling Sale opened Monday in Lexington with a colt by Gun Runner topping the session at $2.8 million, headlining a record-setting start to the auction. The colt led a session that organizers described as power-packed from the opening bell. For hunt-country buyers and bloodstock agents tracking the market, it was a strong signal of where demand stands as the sale gets underway.
