Unicorn is a word that has been heavily overused in the investment world, but it really fits with the sire Union Rags.
UR was precocious enough to win the Saratoga Special and the Champagne at 2 years old, but had enough stamina to win the Belmont the next year. He is in some ways a model horse. It is a great story about Patti Mills Wyeth believing is her mare Tempo (the granddaughter of an English champion), and eventually finding the right sire is Dixie Union.
In fact the whole story makes me wonder if the best plan might be to buy a stamina oriented mare and have her babies. This might be more effective than the sales route.
Union Rags had a bad day yesterday in the sales ring with 7 RNAs and 6 outs, and 4 selling for $75,000 of less. I want to take advantage of that unpopularity and find a UR today.
