Let’s try to make some sense of the results now that the yearling sales are complete.
General Conclusions:
- Its all about recent performance Constitution, Into Mischief were the big winners
- Speed sells – compare Unified and Cupid to Keen Ice
- There is a lack of turf sires – Kitten’s Joy was a big winner
- Freshmen sell – I think most would say the new class did well
- Runhappy and Frosted were the big losers
- The average decline was -20% to -30%
