LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Horse of the Year Azeri has brought $2.25 million in the opening session of the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale in Lexington.

Shunsuke Yoshia purchased the 11-year-old mare in foal to Distorted Humor on behalf of his family's Japan-based Northern Farm.

John G. Sikura's Hill 'n' Dale Farm consigned Azeri on behalf of the Allen E. Paulson Living Trust, who campaigned her to a 17-4-2 record from 24 lifetime starts and earnings of more than $4 million.

Azeri, who was named champion older female in 2001 and 2002 and earned Horse of the Year honors in 2002, was sold during Tuesday's session.
