FT – July

Not sure what to make of this yearling sales. Last year the median was $80,000 and the average $100,000.

What a mess. After looking at the horses, I understand this sale even less. One possibility is that this is the Wesly Ward sale. The idea might be for pinhookers to get the horse even earlier to have them ready for the 2 year old sales, or the guys who want to run early next year.

My top choices:

I am going to stick with horses with a video/photo, maybe this is too strict:
