This group has put out a very nice yearling offering. Their plan is to buy 4 horses at the yearling sale, pinhook one, and race the other three. They did this successfully last year and bought a Hit It a Bomb colt for $100,000 and flipped it for $200,000 at an Ocala sale. LRF’s minimum is $25,000. They are pretty much a California operation, but plan to run one these horses somewhere in the East next year.
They at least deserve credit for creativity.
Let’s keep track of what they bought last year.
- #2865 Miss Costa Rica by Hit It a Bomb, $95,000, flipped for $200,000, and already a winner at Del Mar with a nice 87 fig
- #1428 Agreetodisagreee by Runhappy , $155,000, working at Del Mar
- #2778 Labor Union by Union Rags, $80,000, working at Del Mar
- #1285, $160,000, not yet named, Street Sense out of Montana Native.
I would not have been a fan of the Runhappy purchase, and might not be thrilled that the colt they sold is already a winner.
These guys bought and raced my favorite new stallion, Midnight Storm, so let’s keep a close eye on them.
