Horse Racing Forum - USA Thoroughbred Races

Also - what is going on over at Repole’s house? The man has been nonstop the past few years at the sales. He bought 11 yearlings yesterday for a total of $3.945m with only 1 being in partnership.

I know he historically stocks up and finds those diamonds (like Forte in 2021 and Nest in 2020) but man that’s a lot of $$$.

Ones I like from session 2:

Hip 202 - f. Tapit x Lady Take Charge - second dam is Take Charge Lady, broodmare sire is War Front.
Hip 203 - c. Gun Runner x Lady Tapit - half brother to Kingsbarns. I also think he looks pretty nice.
Hip 205 - f. Constitution x Last Full Measure - 3/4 sister to Valiance.
Hip 208 - f. Uncle Mo x Leslie's Harmony - female family of Beholder, Into Mischief, etc. Not sure if I like her feet, but with that female family...
Hip 215 - f. Volatile x Love and Pride - mostly she's a pretty rose grey, but also her female family goes back to Cara Rafaela (dam of Bernardini).
Hip 218 - c. Into Mischief x Magical World - half brother to Guarana.
Hip 224 - c. Maclean's Music x Manki - full to Drain the Clock.
Hip 229 - c. Practical Joke x Melodic - I think he looks nice.
Hip 232 - c. Curlin x Midnight Bisou

Okay, as it turns out, I like most of this session. I'm not going to keep going.

Hip 309 - c. Into Mischief x Serengeti Empress
Hip 325 - c. Curlin x Songbird
Hip 375 - f. Nyquist x Tiz Miz Sue (G1W, 1/2 to Bulletin)

There are so many mares I recognize.

Much later in the sale is Hip 3550 - f. Roman Candle x Candy Rush (by Twirling Candy/Point Given)

It is interesting that he threatened to pull out of racing in 3 years “ if things did not change”…and I guess he and his advisors including Todd were “ forced” to sit in the first row ( heavens!) instead of their usual mid-row spot because of the packed house. I’m sure Mike made it known he wanted to move and he was accommodated. I wonder who had to ask the other people to please move for Mikey.

To no one’s surprise, the first horse through the ring today breaks a million. Hip 202, $1.3million.

Tapit / Lady Take Charge, second dam is Take Charge Lady.

Not sure who they are either. Bloodhorse didn't have any other info either except that they bought via online.

other two 6 figure yearlings sold so far: f. Gun Runner × Mama Yay (dam is full to Dialed In) to Speedway Stable for $1,200,000 and f. Volatile × Love and Pride (dam is MG1W, granddam is ½ to Bernardini) to Mike G. Rutherford for $1,150,000.

Wow people really want the half to Outwork. Hip 261. He went for $3 Mil (Into Mischief x Nonna Mia)

Into Mischief is clearly this year's star sire.

Everyone wants the Into Mischiefs, nobody wants the ridiculously nice turf pedigrees

Wow the Princess La Quinta filly is nearly white already.

$1.2 million

He was quite testy.

314 Into Mischief x Shopit has Gulastra Plume.
I find myself trying to get a good look at the front knees on the Into M's going thru the ring...especially after seeing the photo of IM's own way-wonky front knees.

I really want #316's knees to be straight..her 2nd dam is the great Winning Colors. $1,200,000. Not bad.
