Getting Ready for Ocala – June

The leftover sale is nearly here. Another 900+ two year olds in training will go on sale next week. To it seems this is the “problem horse” sale. The only reason that a seller would have waited two months for this sale is if his horse had significant problems. The big buyers hardly even participate in this sale.

My results from this sale last year were quite poor, so I will be cautious this year. That may be a very small sample size, but it is also logical.

I have not watched the works very carefully, but I will start building my favorites list here.
