Would I really buy one of these horses? They have pedigree characteristics I would love to have in a broodmare. What if they were also really good looking? What if I could get them for $50,000 of less with a clean vet sheet?
In general the average price in this sale was a $40,000 average and a $15,000 median. I am not sure why a horse would go in this sale rather than the Keeneland sale. There are plenty of bad pedigrees in this sale, but there are also some average pedigrees.
Let’s remember that it will take $25,000 – $50,000 in expenses to get any of these horses to the racetrack.
