Let’s look at one fancy horse by $40,000 new sire City of Light:
#255 – c – City of Light by Pleasant Mine, April 30 foal, B+ nick, 4/30 foal
The first dam in by AP Indy’s son Mineshaft, the 2nd dam in by Pleasant Tap, and the 3rd dam in by stamina influence The Minstrel.
Sneaky good mare. She ran in the Molly Pitcher
I have become more of a Quality Road (Lane’s End) fan, so I at least want to consider the City of Light offerings.
This guy sold for $170,000 to the strangely named PSS Stable. That is a fair price, and maybe a bargain. This would be out of my price range, but maybe was the way to go.
