I should be more excited about this sale, but I have just not found that many horses I like. Maybe I am just becoming a grumpy old man.
My goal is to pick 5 horses I like for about the average price. In 2019 the median for this sale was $17,000 and the average $35,000, the results were 20% lower last year in the middle of the pandemic. Let’s shoot for 5 averaging $50,000. We will let the cool kids buy the 9.4’s and 10.0’s, and shop for 10.1’s and 10.2’s.
The horse I am most excited about is #204. This daughter of Connect is the same cross as Keen Ice (Curlin out of an Awesome Again mare). I might have to pay up for this one, the 21.2 was above average. Was a $40,000 yearling.
The best Honor Code in the sale is #217, I would hope to get him for an average price.
Maybe I should be more excited about #223, a daughter of American Freedom out of a nice allowance route dam by Vicar (son of stamina influence Wild Again) , the nick is A+. Was a $17,000 yearling.
Maybe I should be more excited about #88 a son of Unified out of a Bernardini mare. The mare was a $600,000 Darley purchase but only won once. The nick is rated A. Was a $25,000 yearling.
