You might think that selling 5,000+ yearlings in Lexington was enough. Yet somehow today they will sell another 500+ at Timonium. Maybe 50-60% are NY, MD, VA, and PA breds, but there are plenty of Kentucky breds. Why a Kentucky bred would go to this sale is something I do not understand. Maybe some local breeders are just to lazy to drive the extra miles?
There are some decent horses. It will be interesting to see if any of the partnerships participate.
I am interested in the following:
- there are 2 nice Midnight Storm’s late in the sale #509 and #571. Will these sell for less $50,000? I would hope so.
- there are 2 nice turf fillies, #263 a Big Blue Kitten, and #375 a Noble Mission
- there is a great “what if I am wrong” horse, # 432 a Unified out of a solid running and producing Lemon Drop Kid mare
- maybe I will try to learn some of the mid-Atlantic sires if I see some smart buyers participate
It feels like there might be some bargains here. Maybe this sales is better than being in day 12 at Keeneland. Let’s watch and find out.
