Two Reasonable Offers

Before the Keeneland sale is even over two smaller partnership operations put out some very reasonable offers.

I have been very impressed with the claiming offers that Zilla Racing has extended. Now they bought two yearlings and made a nice offer. If you like sprinters (I do not, that is my bias), then the NY-bred Kantharos filly is a very interesting idea. The pedigree is solid, and the price was right. Their fees are lower than the big guys, but they still have access to Chad Brown and Brad Cox.

Zilla also paid $200,000 for a Nyquist filly. This is a big swing for them. Nyquist is a hot sire, but I am yet to be convinced. I admire their courage and will be watching with great interest.

Pocket Aces is a group I am not that familiar with yet. They have a solid record of winning races, and they have had interesting offers at their website. They e-mailed an excellent offer last night if you like the freshman sire Klimt. He is son of Quality Road. Pocket Aces only paid $25,000 for hip #2493. The photo and the description are worth looking at.

If you are not on these mailing lists now is a good time to join.
