What have I accomplished in the 3+ weeks of writing this blog?
Most importantly, the blog has kept me from watching more than 30 minutes of MSNBC or Fox News. I have not heard more than 10 minutes of sports radio updating me on the latest Dak Prescott news. Who cares? I have 2000 horses to value, and yearling sales to prepare for. I love to analyze things. Stocks, politics, chess, golf swings, fantasy baseball, sports betting, and pick-6’s, had been my main concerns. Now I have a new one, horse sales.
Some people like travel, some like to do family stuff, and others like to watch beautiful sunsets, I like to analyze things.
On a more practical level:
- I selected a 20 horse portfolio from the June Ocala sale to track for the next 2 years
- I got on the mailing list of 15 different partnership groups
- I bought 4 different 2-3% interests in real horses from 3 different partnership groups, and will continue to evaluate new offers
- I laid out a horse selection strategy, and compared it to other more common strategies
- I selected a portfolio of yearlings to compare with the Ten Strike real portfolio
- I selected a portfolio of 10 bargain yearlings
It will not be easy to keep track of all there horses once the running begins, but it will “keep me off the streets”.
I guess chapter 1 of this “story” will conclude with the Ocala July sale, then chapter 2 will be the yearling sales, and chapter 3 will be the results of the 2-yr old racing culminating in the Breeders Cup,
