Think About Street Sense

There is a lot of thinking to do on a boring Sunday morning.

Street Sense is a sire that is out of my price range at $60,000, but maybe I can find a sneaky one at this sale. Maxfield is exactly the kind of horse I am looking for, Street Sense out of a Bernardini mare. Let’s see if we can find a boring Street Sense:

1. #35 – f – stakes winning Lion Heart mare $500,000, $210,000
2. #46 – c – ok Indian Charlie mare $450,000, $200,000
3. #59 – c – ok Unbridled Song mare $400,000, $310,000
4. #164 – f – solid Arch mare $375,000, first foal, B nick, $235,000 RNA
5. #74- f – unraced Giant’s Causeway mare, risky $350,000, $535,000
6. #135 – f – ok Ghostzapper mare $325,000, $250,000
7. #97 – f – unraced Tale of the Cat mare $300,000, $250,000 Cenntenial
8. #131 – f – marginal Hard Spun mare $250,000, B+ nick, withdrawn
9. #206 – c – marginal Exchange Rate mare $200,000, $350,000

The sneaky horse I would like is #131. The mare, Loom, was second tier G Watts Humphey filly that only won 2 of 25 races, but is a daughter of AP indy. Hard Spun is not may favorite broodmare sire, but he is sometimes reasonable. If everyone chases the fancier Street Sense’s, maybe I could steal #131 for $150,000. Just dreaming of that overlooked horse.

Maxfield did not win, and therefore the Street Sense’s did not sell. As usual, my favorite, #131, did not even make it to the ring. Again the risky mares sold better than the solid ones. Centennial bought an empty mare I am not too thrilled about.
