Quixote vs. Myracehorse

I just cannot let those poor results from Myracehorse is the previous post go unanswered. If all you can do is earn 50% of your expenses by buying $250,000 yearlings in 2020 (at least $325,000 today), then horse racing might be best left for royalty.

Let’s try to build two 14 horse portfolio’s with last year’s yearlings and see if we can do better.

The first group will be under $55,000 and the second group will average $80,000.

$55,000 and under:

1. Irish Empress – f – by Classic Empire, $15,000, Blue Streak and Oracle Bloodstock
2. Bad Samaritan – f – by Good Samaritan, $30,000, Blue Streak and Oracle
3. Remastered – c – by Mastery, $30,000, Brilliant Racing
4. Arc Light – f – Sharp Azteca, $20,000, Pocket Aces
5. Proud Performer – c – Oscar Performance, $45,000, Robinson
6. Delphia – f – Mucho Macho Man, $40,000, Donato Lanni
7. Minari – f – Oscar Performance, $45,000, Jason Hall
8. Fastbyte – f – Oscar Performance, $35,000, KatieRich Farm
9. Fly Condor – f – Army Mule, $52,000, Meah Bloodstock
10. Proud Mary – f – Point of Entry, $32,000, Donato Lanni
11. Influentialous – f – The Factor, $37,000, Barberino
12. Wreaking Havoc – f – Mastery, $55,000, Sanders
13. Honor Lord – c – Honor Code, $55,000, Oracle
14. Miss Kristy – f – Good Samaritan, $55,000, Viries

Lots of horse have a $50,000 reserve and the first bid after that is $55,000

Higher Quality – over $55,000:

1. Best Performer – f – Oscar Performance, $65,000, Sanders
2. Crypto Man – Funtastic – c – $62,000, Omni Racing
3. Acquired Class – c – Cairo Prince – $70,000, SoCal Seven
4. Imherefortheparty – f – Blame, $100,000, Homewrecker
5. Norfie – Accelerate – c – $72,000, Cal Rock
6. Billy’s Got Issues – c – Cairo Prince, $110,000, Oracle
7. The Alys Look – f – Connect, $60,000, Thrash
8. Big Sur – c – West Coast, $95,000, Brilliant
9. Toast to Coast – West Coast – c – $65,000, Willis Horton
10. Magistrate – Tapwrit – c – $75,000, Adelphi
11. xxxxxxxxx – Midnight Storm – f – $60,000, Lindsey Schultz

13. Philharmonic – Mendelssohn – c – $140,000, Monarossa
14. xxxxxxx – Creative Cause – c – $60,000, Brilliant Racing

Let’s see what the rate of return is one this portfolio over the next two years. This group is very representative of my current strategy. The Mendelssohn is my one “luxury”
