Overall through the first five days, Keeneland has sold 753 horses for gross receipts of $145,216,500, a 22.4 percent increase over the gross for the first five days of the sale last year and an amount that exceeds by $3.2 million the gross for the first six days of the sale last year. The cumulative average price has been $192,851, a 17.6 percent increase over the average last year. And median has skyrocketed 36.4 percent to $150,000, an indication that the upper middle-market has strengthened considerably.

It is a stretch to call the last 5 days "upper middle market".
