It was disappointing to have #301 go for such a high price. The median for the first night was $80,000, up from $60,000 in 2019. The big partnerships were quiet. Small partnership Dream Maker Racing bought the topper paying $495,000 for an Uncle Mo. Wow, that is a lot for a small group.
My main goal for today would be to wait and try to get #605 for under $100,000. I guess I have to be ready to buy #482, but anything under $150,000 I would view as potentially TGTBT.
Or maybe #439 for under $75,000 would be a bargain. Maybe #486 would be a decent Cairo Prince for under $50,000.

Mike Repole ruined my day again by bidding $200,000 for the other Dialed In #605.
The partnerships were quiet except for Zilla buying two sprint oriented horses, and Donegal stepping in to buy a surprising horse.
#482 was my distance specialist she sold for “only” $140,000. I would call that a bargain. #439 was also a bargain at $30,000. My Cairo Prince must have been missing a leg becasue she sold for only $5,000
The median fell on the second day, making the overall median a reasonable $70,000. Buybacks were high, but not too bad.
Now it is on to Keeneland, where the fun really begins.
