No not 1960’s pop group, but Funky Munky Stable, fired a bullet at hip #3182 on day 10 of the sale.
They bought a nice NY-bred filly by Mineshaft for $30,000. Mineshaft is solid stamina sire that is almost completely forgotten in the swirl of new fancy sires. The dam was an unraced daughter of Belmont winner Afleet Alex. The second dam produced million dollar sprint winner Taste of Paradise in 1999. He lost the 2005 Breeders Cup Sprint by a head. I would call this a “sneaky good” pedigree.
I had great conversation with Richie Munk about 3 months ago. He was very honest and told some great stories about the problem horses he had bought at training sales. He said he was looking for one yearling this fall, and now he has his horse. Richie also had some great stories about his experiences in harness racing.
I will definitely give this horse some thought.
