Smaller Partnerships

Let’s rank the smaller partnerships performance at the yearling sales:

1. Ironhorse Racing – These guys bought 3 above average horses, all with good emphasis on stamina. They move right to the top of my list. Half is Enough, won at Monmouth, no races since September, Clararific working at Belmont, working in Tampa
2. Little Red Feather – They did buy a Midnight Storm late in the sale. That is not surprising since they owned Midnight Storm during his racing career. It was not the MS I would have picked, but it was an A++ nick. I will give it some thought. Became Sayers, not working
3. Don’t Tell My Wife Stable – These guys bought 3 interesting horses by Mastery, Candy Ride, and Tiznow. I will have to learn more. Epoch, decent race at SA, Miss Everything, 3 decent tries at SA, Candy Raid, Won MC at Ellis, at FG
4. Funky Munky – I really like the NY-bred Mineshaft that Richie bought. They only paid $30,000, and Mineshaft is a very unfashionable sire. Will consider. One Track Mine, one start in NY
5. Pocket Aces bought a $20,000 Mastery I will consider. Sophisticated, not working
6. Pewter bought 4, I will think about the Animal Kingdom. Mia Tosca, 2nd at Parx
7. MyRacehorse.com bought 14 horses, 10 with Spendthrift. None jumped off the page, but I will take a look at each.
8. Zilla – They took a big swing spending $200,000 for a Nyquist. I wish them well, but I just am not a Nyquist fan yet. Whisky Lullaby working in NY
9. Victory Racing bought a $215,000 Street Sense and a $60,000 Connect. I like the sire choices, but not the female families. Street Slayer not working, Fully Connected, three bad tries at FG
10. Starlight, Donegal, Bourbon Lane, Centennial, and Ten Strike will only offer horses as a group
11. Dare to Dream, Hibiscus, and many others chose not to play in the yearling game.
