Already saw one mare sold to California Chrome, LLC, agent for Perry Martin (Hip 272).
Anyone notice any other mares they've bought already? Gonna spend that Love the Chase cash quick :D

*Nevermind....found 5 they bought, including Hip 418... Evasion (Empire Maker-Inside Information)
He bought Decennial from the farm I work at. Taylor Made is going to have an awesome time getting that tail tag off. Let's just say that she's not very fond of people :lol:

7. He bought 2 from the first session as well. Right There (Eskendereya x Elrose) and Uchitel (Afleet Alex x Party Cited).

Looks like he's trying to put together a nice bunch of mares for Chrome.

Evasion's pedigree (Empire Maker out of the great Inside Information) is about as nice as they come.

They seem to dance around and be a bit more feisty than the other sales I've watched. Oh mares! :D

Cordell? The handlers are better at Keeneland than at FT or any of the other auction houses.
They definitely had their hands full this sale. There was more jerking and such than normal in the ring but still easier to get pictures with them in the ring than anywhere else.

Cairo Prince weanlings are doing nicely so far. First filly out of Maid in Heaven sold for $65 000 which is over 6x his stud fee. Second one, a filly out of G1 winner No Such Word sold for $125 000.. over 12x her stud fee.
Bummed 1064 is an out, but there are 4 more today.

His latest colt out of an Indian Charlie mare went for $200 000
The mare owners who bred to Cairo Prince so far must be thrilled.
Really sorry I missed him I bet he was quite the looker.

Guessing Classic Empire's BC Juvenile win boosted her price too.

The Conquest dispersal really adds some quality horses to this sale, although some of them are selling cheap. I really like Conquest Tsunami and Conquest Typhoon - been cheering for them since their awesome 2-year-old seasons.
