The partnerships were much more active on day 2. Let’s sort out the winners and losers.
Winners:
- All those that chose not to participate: notably Eclipse, Ironhorse, Zilla and many others. I appreciate their price discipline
- Dare to Dream bought two below median horses, an Upstart and an American Freedom. I really like the AF, and if I was not waiting for yearlings I would probably invest here
- I like the $60,000 Klimt that Pewter bought, nice price for a 20.4 work (from Day 1)
Mixed Bag:
- I love the horses that West Point bought, I hate the prices they paid. They bought my Lemon Drop Kid #362 for $300,000, and #562 a Ghostzapper from a Dynaformer mare for $375,000. Let’s give them credit for buying two turn horses.
- Little Red Feather bought an interesting Mohaymen that worked 9.4 for only $160,000, and a strange Malibu Moon with a Chilean dam
- Slam Dunk bought an interesting Mohaymen, I will have to learn more
Losers:
- Kenwood bought another sprinter by Kantharos
- Final Furlong bought a strange War Dancer for $50,000
- Bona Venture got back in the game, but paid a lot ($150,000) for a 10.1 Connect
- I like the $140,000 Dialed In that Myracehorse.com bought, not thrilled by the $270,000 Flatter, and really confused by the $575,000 Kantharos they bought with Spendthrift
