The culmination of three years work to build a foundation uniting
the efforts of Mill Ridge Farm and Nicoma Bloodstock into one cohesive
unit, came together in September at the Keeneland Yearling Sales. We
congratulate John and Jerry Amerman for whom we consigned the
sale-topping first foal by A.P. Indy, out of Grade 1 winner Balance for
$4.2 million to Benjamin Leon Jr.'s Besilu Stables. This would be
the most expensive yearling sold in North America since 2006. Our Mill
Ridge Sales team outdid themselves in preparation and execution of this
sale, and we are very proud to have been a part of it. The second day of
the sale was significant for Nicoma in a purchase for our dear friends
Roy and Gretchen Jackson's Lael Stable. During the seventh session
Nicoma signed for the sale-topper on behalf of Marc Keller. Both
companies were active as one and with the results of Nicoma-bought
runners and the blend of Mill Ridge Farm, the structure is in place to
execute business at the highest level. We invite you to allow us the
opportunity to offer our expertise to assist you with developing your
Thoroughbred program and to meet your highest expectations.
