Another 1500+

Somehow they found another 1500+ yearlings to put on sale at Fasig-Tipton in Lexington.

The role of these “second tier” sales is still one of the great mysteries of the sales process. As a determined value buyer I will keep track of these sales, but I feel like I am shopping at the Dollar Store.

The mean and average of $15,000 and $30,000 are about the same as the last days of the Keeneland sale. Eclipse found a $550,000 horse, Pocket Aces, and Pewter were the only other partnership buyers.

I will keep track of one from each of my favorite sires:

1. #230 Honor Code – Lady is a Lioness – $10,000, great 2nd dam
2. #99 Tonalist – Holiday Girl – $42,000, Liz Crow buys a plodder
3. #1076 Maclean’s Music – Zindi – $47,000, Donato buys a MM
4. #56 Summer Front – Guess the Dance – $4,000, Hippo Racing ???
5. #374 Midnight Storm – Miss Montreal – $39,000, Antowne Randle El ???
6. #855 Unified – Swampoodle – $37,000, Pocket Aces
7. #432 American Freedom – Never Quicker -$37,000, Little Red Feather
8. #1435 Gormley – Doubleshot of Gold – $17,000, McPeek
9. #222 Dialed In – Kristy Beethoven – $6,000
10. #148 Cairo Prince – In Stitches – $80,000, Crow, great 2nd dam

This is kind of a random collection of horses. My favorite is the Midnight Storm bought by former Indiana Hoosier QB Antowne Randle El.
