My lack of organizational skills cost me a chance to invest is a partnership I should have joined.
I thought I was on all the mailing lists, but I somehow missed Zilla Racing. The were offering a great looking Big Blue Kitten filly they had just bought at Ocala for $67,000. She is the ultimate slow developing horse, yet she worked 10.1, and was a bargain at only 6.7x.
The offer sold out in less than a day so I would have had to move fast. It was interesting that this horse did not originally show on the OBS site as a Zilla purchase (but it does now).
She has already been named Ninja Kitten. For the next year she will be “the big fish that got away.”
I was also not prepared on Big Blue Kitten. He is a freshman sire that I should have been watching more carefully. He is the ultimate slow developer. He only got good when he was 5, but got even better when he was 7. He stands at Calumet, which has a great history but has been a little “off the radar” recently.
