Just for Fun

First lets imagine I had an unlimited budget, what would I buy?

The notes after the ——– were done after the sale

I did a poor job of picking the expensive horses, some must have some really bad x-rays, becasuse they have fast works and tons of pedigree

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

#1254 this Not This Time filly had the fastest work by far at 20.1, out of a G3 winner

——was the sale topper for $ 1,350,000

#840 this filly is the fastest Frosted, out of graded winner, who produced a graded winner

——–sold for “only” $180,000

#493. a Street Sense filly that worked 20.3 and has a ton of pedigree under the second dam

———what a bargain, only $80,000

#1275 a Liam’s Map filly that worked 20.4, multiple G1 winner Jersey Girl is the second dam

———withdrawn

#1235. a colt Candy Ride, from a stakes winner, the horse is consigned by an interesting pinhooker

———–another bargain only $200,000

Just for fun lets ignore my bias against certain sires and try to to find there best entry (not the best buy, just the best)

American Pharoah – there were none with decent 2f works – pass

Blame – #249 a nice 20.4—–went for $225,000

Cairo Price – #199 a 21 work and decent pedigree —withdrawn

California Chrome – #979 worked 21.2 from a stakes winner —-only $100,000

Constitution – #341 20.3 work, from a solid mare —-$450,000

Curlin – #727. from a high class European mare, worked 21.1. —-$210,000 RNA

Empire Maker #1060 worked 10.0, from a solid Tapit mare —— $475,000

Exaggerator -#789 worked 21, buy a stakes producing mare. —– $120,000 RNA

Into Mischief – #208 worked 20.3, by a stakes winner, maybe the sale topper? —- only $100,000 (must have problems)

Kitten’s Joy – #984. worked 10.1, might be the top turf horse—— $115,000

Lemon Drop Kid – #701, worked 9.4 by a Giant’s Causeway mare, very interesting. —to Tom Durant for $360,000

Medaglia de Oro – #466 worked 10.1, by stakes winner.—–$65,000. RNA

Nyquist – #877 – worked 21 by a stakes producer. —- $60,000. RNA

Quality Road #1018 worked 20.3 out an AP indy mare, another sale topper? —–$1,250,000

Runhappy – #1266, 20.3 and a pure sprint pedigree. —-$80,000. RNA

Speightster – #261, these were good looking horses, several went 2f nicely —-$72,000

Tapit – #1038 worked 21.2, by a Giant’s Causeway stake winner. ——- Only $50,000

Uncle Mo – no decent 2f works – pass

Union Rags – #579 worked 21.1, fron a G1 producer ———-withdrawn

My guess is that these will all be $200,000+ sellers, if they sell for less than $100,000 they must have very crooked legs. Might be too biased in favor of 2f works

I was a professional investor for over 30 years. Now I spend my time trying to pick horses rather than stocks.
