What Would I Do?

It is two hours before the October Fasig-Tipton yearling sale. I am excited and confused.

That is bad situation, but not unexpected.

Based just on pedigree I should wait for #606, but the video is just ok, and not great. She would be a good mom for Honor AP. Then #927 also is a solid pedigree choice, looks above average, but can’t walk in a straight line.

I just cannot get past the photo of #216. Maybe I have just identified the tallest and longest filly, and not one that can actually run. I hate the idea of Majesticperfetion as a broodmare sire, but the nick is rated A++ and this horse looks nothing like a sprinter. Should I trust my eye? She should be affordable. She is consigned by an interesting group called Small Batch Sales.

I really want a filly, but I also am in love with the look of #245 a colt. I think Mendelssohn might be undervalued. The 2nd dam won a stake at 1 1/2 miles.

The wild card is #389 is who looks great, but is a daughter of the unknown Canadian sire Not Bourbon.

My brain tells me wait for #606, but my heart tells me to take a chance on #216, #245, or #389.
