Saw on twitter that Caravel was an RNA as well.

So is she staying in training? Or maybe a private sale

I don't see the point of putting these high-profile mares through a sale only to set their RNA at some unreachably high number. Is it just for publicity?

Dalika, whose beautiful conformation is readily apparent even while heavily in foal to Flightline, goes for $1.65 million

Is there any specific reason Caravel went to keenov and not f-t? It's probably not a huge difference, but I feel like all the "bigger" names went to Fasig?

I understand not selling Puca for 2.8m. She is a young mare. All 3 of her foals of racing age have blacktype. Mage maybe only has 1 G1 win, but he ran well in most of his races and he is racing next year. Dornoch looks like he is improving. Her yearling brought 1.2m. People will pay a lot to have a sibling(half or full) to a Kentucky Derby winner.

Caravel, I'm not really sure what they thought they were going to get. Its a huge increase over the 500k they paid at Fasig Tipton November 2021. As for why she was in Keeneland over FT, maybe because they wanted to be the big horse in this sale? I mean the same buyers should be at this sale, its why they run them back to back.

Doesn't race horses much, more a commercial breeder. I've seen horses bred by them. They own Keertana.

Juddmonte bought Ack Naughty (dam of Practical Move). She's i/f to Into Mischief of course.

I wish there was a way to view underbidders. Like, who else wanted this hose?

Her conformation photo in the catalogue is, uh, odd.
