What if I am wrong? Let’s try the bargain yearling strategy, but trying to build a balanced horse. I used to same sires, but tried to pick a dam with sprinter/miler pedigree. If they won at 2 even better. I fear this is what the pinhookers are looking for, but it worth a try. Again these are all horses bought at the September Keeneland yearling sale in 2019.
