After a dark day, Keeneland starts again with Book 2. With more than 400 horses this is a complete book in one day. It is similar to book 1. There are still mainly expensive stallions. There is only one Maclean’ Music, only one Tonalist, only one Midnight Storm, and no Summer Fronts. The median price will still be around $200,000.
Most of the horses I am interested in start to show up around hip #2000, and Book 2 ends at hip #834.
Patience grasshopper.
Just for fun let’s see if we can find some things we like for $120,000.
- The best of the 4 AFB’s or #619
- The best Blame #746
- Either of the 2 Dialed In’s #573 or #683
- The best Frosted #613
- The best Honor Code #525 or #813
- The best Pioneerof the Nile #737 or #807
- The best Street Sense #814
- I do not like any of the 4 Twirling Candy’s
- The best Union Rags #477, 739, 773
- I do not like the 4 Violence’s

Frustrated again. Of the 13 I wanted, 10 were out or RNA, and 2 sold for over $300,000
The one that was modestly interesting was the Street Sense that sold for $180,000, but I think there will be cheaper Street Sense’s in the next few days.
One that I was really disappointed with was hip #447 that RNAed for $190,000.
#477 Union Rags – After Thought by Fusaichi Pegasus, I really liked this horse an will try to watch for it going forward. I think I will do a little more work on Union Rags.
