Day 5 continued to go slow. Buyback were high and there were once again 25 “no shows”. The median fell to $85,000. I got the two horses i wanted, but I did have to pay $140,000 for the Gormley. At least they showed up and were not RNAed.
It was interesting that both Eclipse and West Point were silent. Donegal bought a solid Street Sense. Starlight bought four more MyRacehorse.com grabbed three.
Two new players entered. Victory Racing Stable bought a very reasonable Street Sense for $220,000, I need to learn more. At a small operation located in Ft. Worth with the cute name of, Don’t Tell My Wife Stables, bought a decent Tiznow for $40,000. I will have to get to know these guys that are only 30 miles away from me.
