Thinking About Mendelssohn

One more popular sire that is new is the $35,000 Mendelssohn. Maybe he could be a decent turf sire, but I have my doubts. He is a half brother to Into Mischief and Beholder, so there just might be too much popularity. Menelssohn’s father, Scat Daddy, was a precocious winner of the Sanford Stakes at 2 years old.

Let’s try to find a boring one:

1. #104 – c – solid Ghostzapper mare $400,000, $120,000
2. #195 – f – solid Candy ride mare $350,000, $190,000 RNA
3. #6 – c – solid Grand Slam mare $300,000, $350,000 RNA
4. #80 – c – ok Awesome of course mare $275,000, $120,000 RNA
5. #196 – f – solid Minister’s Wildcat mare $260,000, withdrawn
6. #43 – f – ok Mr. Greeley mare $250,000, withdrawn
7. #169 – f – marginal unraced Curlin mare $200,000, A nick, $435,000 Klaravich

Maybe I could steal the Curlin mare if the cool kids look for the precocious Mendelssohn. Not a real great collection of mares. The more I look the more I think this sale is another group of “physicals” without too much pedigree.

The Menddelssohn’s were very disappointing. Was Seth the smart guy for paying up? Let’s watch and find out.
