Inspired by a $40,000 Flashback yearling that became a BC champion, lets build a portfolio of cheaper yearlings. These are not the cheapest, I want to pay 2x to 5 x for these horses. I will look for horses bought by people who want to race them, not pinhook them. These are all from the September Keeneland sale.
- Aikman – Carpe Diem – $25,000 – Danial Pita
- Big Big Plans – Point of Entry – $17,000 – Nick Gonzales
- Whistlers Style – Tonalist – $55,000 – Frank Lewkowitz
- Star Mission – Noble Mission – $27,000 – Ken McPeek
- God’s Pick – Summer Front – $13,000 – Weldon Johnson
- LaTourista – Tourist – $30,000 – Travis Murphy
- Spanish Rider – Ironicus – $14,000 – Red Stable
- Thunderstruck – Maclean’s Music – $30,000 – Jeff Greenhill
- not known – Bayern – $35,000 – Emblem Stables (dam=Dynagreen)
- Elle Est Forte – Flintshire $50,000 – GBW Racing
This is a high risk strategy. Let’s see how it works. All of these are “slow” horses with lots of distance pedigree on the dam side.
