Timonium

The under tack show is only 8 days away. I want to build a list of about 20 horses that I am interested in. Maybe I will focus on just 3 price ranges, under $100,000, under $50,000 and under $25,000.

The approach will be the same. I am looking for horses I would expect to work in the bottom quintile, but then if they have an average work, I will use that as my weird definition of talent. Again I will also lean toward sires I think are “undervalued”

The seems to be a much wider dispersion of quality on the female side, many more top producing dams, but many more first foals.

Not that many great ideas. Not as many creative idea, and not as much turf. I like the idea a focus on 3 ideas even better.
