318 is a filly by Frankel x Smart Change (Smart Strike). This will show whether the bidders are remotely interested in such a blue-blooded turf pedigree. $500,000.

They had to BACK #320, a Game Winner colt, into the ring. Not auspicious. $125,000.

a full sister to Gamine RNA'd for $475,000, and honestly looking at her makes me wonder how it even went that high
(very) upright pasterns, straight & long shoulder, wonky neck... wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't ever make it to the races.
this $200,000 filly o/o G1W Sailor's Valentine is also... something. not very confident in the hooves either, given they're being "hidden" by the sunlight.

They've done that with several of these yearlings. Would've hoped they'd be better trained during their sales prep.

It may be hard to duplicate the staring crowd of bidders and the in-their-ears auctioneer noise to prepare those babies.

i just went through a few "cheap" yearlings that i thought would go for more given their pedigrees and looked at their confo shots. and jeez... some of these are REALLY something.
$125,000. this is probably the least-worst one. it's just that it looks like his neck/head look like they belong to a whole different horse?
$225,000 RNA. again, looks like it's 2 different horses if you split it in half. and honestly looks kinda wonky overall...
$175,000 RNA. ummm... yeah... jesus.

Insane. Those front legs didn't look any better in the ring. The Into Mischief hype is too much.

Some of these yearlings (like that unfortunate-looking War Front x Orate colt) are just in awkward stages of their growth. It takes someone with a better eye than I have to see the potential when they stop growing.

Orate baby might just have sharkfin withers + be in a butt high stage.
