Myself and another here on the board are partners on Hip 387. She's not going to bring bazillions of dollars, but she's a big, good-looking daughter of Stormy Atlantic. We're just not set up as a breeding partnership. Hoping she goes to someone in the US, so I can follow her babies!

Hip 532: I see that Wired Bryan finally showed back up, as a stallion prospect only.

I just posted in another thread about the all-around hellaciousness of Left Bank. Good luck, hope she finds a good home.

Crossing fingers and toes! She showed promise so hopefully there will be interest in her.

Talk about ruining horses. Wired Bryan couldn't even make it past his 2-year-old year...6 starts! What happened? I don't understand this industry. I think maybe a small time breeder could go for a horse like him, but really he should just be a gelding and a riding horse. I do love seeing Runaway Groom in a pedigree.

Some interesting hips in there:
112 Gamay Noir
232 Miss Derek
277 Part the Seas (Sam-Son Farm bred, but was claimed off them)
378 Shanon Nicole
359 Silky Smooth (i/f to Giants Causeway)
425 Unattended (Quality Road-Go Go)... was wondering where she was. I guess she's an unraced broodmare prospect.

58: Don't Blame Me - stakes placed just turned 3yo F. Wonder why they're getting out of her.

Barishynikov, Gala Award both in the sale as stallion prospects. Of the two, I would take Baryshnikov. Battlefront, a two time winning War Front colt is also in as a racing or stallion prospect. If he goes for cheap enough, maybe some smart person will purchase him and give him to G. Motion for a complete turn-around

Gala Award is gorgeous.

He better be, he cost $1.5 million!
Was he injured? I don't remember. He only raced 6 times, too bad.

I imagine he must be injured since he is entered as a stallion prospect only.....1.5 million ouch. That's going to hurt no matter what he brings at the sale. It will be a gigantic loss I am sure

On looks, I'd take Gala Award over Stay Thirsty and Alpha any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Obviously z the latter 2 have much stronger race records.

I was snickering over Ebbycalvin Laloosh (somebody liked Bull Durham!) and then I realized she's a filly. *side eye*

Baryshnikov only got 7 mares last year, so I guess it's easier to put him in the sale than try to sell him privately? Or at least see if there's any interest, I'm guessing.

Baryshnikov sold for $7k to Blaine Davidson.

Wired Bryan was a $38k RNA.

Easter Gift went for $11k to Ed Price.

I could have sold my 4Runner and bought two stallions.

Or I could have bought our filly back, picked up a friend or two for her, and bought a stallion to go with them

I saw that Gala Award is half to Stormello... Did any of his foals run well?

White thoroughbred filly by Silver Mountain sold to calumet farm for 25k.the dam is out of Airdrie Apache bloodlines
