I will use this one post to keep track of my favorite ideas as the sale goes along. These are ranked from top to bottom.
- #550 – c – Mastery – Spring Street by Street Cry – B nick, 3/17 foal, $190,000 – The good folks at Centennial Farms bought one of my “challenge idea”. I give them great credit for investing in a less popular sire.
- #100 – c – Mendelssohn – Our Maria Celeste by Galileo, 2/26 foal, A nick, $150,000, Oracle Bloodstock for Dan Gargan, 2nd dam produced General Quarters. The Mendelssohn prices picked up on day 3, this was a value.
- #586 – c – Street Sense – Urban Hill by Galileo – A+ nick, 5/13 foal, Boomer Bloodstock, $200,000. Not sure about the buyer, but they got a great 2 turn horse.
- #460 – c – Classic Empire – Morrow by Pivotal – A++ nick, 3/2 foal, Randy Bradshaw, $150,000 – Great price on a tough day. The guy at Eclipse raves about Pivotal as a broodmare sire.
- #461 – f – Mendelssohn – Mortgage the House by Chester House, 5/2 foal. A+ nick, $320,000 – Legion Bloodstock – This was a great looking, sleek horse, so I will forgive then for overpaying a little.
- #317 – c – Collected – Coronation Street by Street Cry, 4/15 foal, A+ nick, $200,000 – Whitehorse and Madaket.
- #651 – f – American Pharoah – Celebrity Cat by Storm Cat – 4/28 foal, A+ nick, $50,000 – Cove Bloodstock – I know this a TGTBT price, but I want to watch this one.
- #608 – c – Lemon Drop Kid – Alluvial Gold by Danehill Dancer – Legacy Bloodstock – $120,000 – One last chance with my favorite LDK. Mare has produced a G1 winner in France.
- #498 – c – Mastery – Promise Me More by More Than Ready – 3/19 foal, A nick, $95,000 – Finally Liz Crow buys a horse I like at a price I like, let’s watch.
- #55 Violence – Marion Ravenwood by AP Indy – $275,000, Steve Young – This is my last try with Violence. This is the dam of stamina specialist Idol. maybe a Day 1 value special.
Did not have a chance to review the whole catalog, but I too noted #586 and #55 as horses that caught my eye and would be interested in.
