Fancy

I wanted to buy one fancy horse. Not because I plan to do so next year, but just to compare with my collection of value horses. The prices at the high end of the market seemed quite fair, and many older stallions were not attracting much attention.

Malibu Moon is the outstanding son of AP Indy that stands for $60,000. He had 20 horses in the sale. One sold for $500,000, we paid $200,000, not one more sold for over $100,000. Did Malibu Moon sudden stop producing good horses, or were the buyers just bored.

Fusaichi Pegasus was the best looking race horse I ever saw, he did not become a great sire, but he has been a solid broodmare sire.

Hip #9721 was a Malibu Moon out of an unraced Fu Peg mare, but there was ton of Black Type under the second dam. The work was an average 21.2, so the price was only 3.5x the stud fee.

This might be dangerous if this horse was bought by a stock swindler from Hoboken, New Jersey, but instead the a member of racing royalty Martin Wygod appears to be the buyer. Mr. Wygod has one over $20,000,000 in purses.

Just for fun let’s see how the beautiful people live. What would it be like to own a fancy horse? How difficult will it be to drop him into $20,000 claimer at Los Alamitos. Let’s hope that does not happen, but if it does it will be educational.

Lets all him:
