The buyback rate started to fall, and the median price was around $50,000. It is hard to believe the sale is only 50% complete.
West Point and Eclipse were silent, but some of the smaller guys started to fire bullets at lower priced horses.
I had to pay up for my top pick, a son of Midnight Storm. I did not expect to pay $180,000.
Three other key horses were RNAed, and the Twirling Candy sold for $385,000. Overall I only got 5 of my 10 key horses. That is reality of this sale, you have to prepare for it. There were enough under $60,000 bargains that a little guy could find a horse in the first half of this sale, or he could wait for the second half.
