The Fish That Got Away

I am sure that every horse buyer has plenty “fish that got away” stories. Here are mine.

I was happy to get my top filly, but the interesting one I did not get was the Violence filly #258. Eclipse Partners bought it for $125,000. Maybe I can buy a share in the real world.

The toughest to pass on was #13. I really liked this filly, and she sold for a reasonable $95,000. This will be one to watch.

The Not This Time #259 went for $95,000 but was RNAed

The Temple City #274 was bought by Three Diamonds Farm for $40,000. I did not know I was RNAed of #222 or I could have bought this one.

It was interesting that Dennis O’Neil bought #81 the Alpha colt for $52,000.

The interesting one was #134 the Pioneerof the Nile who dam producer Dullihan and Mine that Bird. The work was a slow 10.4, so the top bid was $70,000, but it was a RNA

The Frosted I wanted was withdrawn.

The cheap one was a Brody’s Cause #43, that actually sold for $6,000. An Orb I wanted sold for $9,000, but was RNAed.

The Ghostzapper. #146 sold for $32,000. It was first reported as a RNA, but then later was called a private sale. It had sold as a yearling for only $13,000 and looked very small, so I passed.

The Jess’s Dream #34 sold $25,000, but I was waiting on the Flintshire #222

The Anchor Down I wanted at #51 was RNAed for $47,000
