Day 3 was slow again. 385 horses were cataloged. At 9am, 46 were reported out, but 37 more disappeared during the day. Reported RNA’s were 117. Less than half of the cataloged horse were sold, that cannot be good. Can consignors hope to sell these horses at later yearling sales? Or will there be an overflow at Ocala and Timonium next year?
I do not understand the flow of these horses. That makes it difficult to adjust my strategy going forward.
West Point bought 3 horses each interesting in its own way . They bought a Frosted for $225,000 that is moderately interesting, if you still believe in Frosted. I am happy to buy imaginary Frosted’s and hope the early results can be overlooked, but in the real world it is a tougher call. WP also bought a Brody’s Cause and a Nyquist for $100,000 each. Dallas Stewart also bought part of the Nyquist. I would call these ok, but not exciting. The Frosted needs more thought.
Eclipse bought a $100,000 Gun Runner, and a $100,000 Spieghtstown. I will think about the Gun Runner.
Starlight bought 5, and Centennial and MyRacehorse.com each bought 1
