Battle Joined. I hope they don't change it.

673 is an Arch colt out of St. Trinians. Wonder if the prospective buyers tried to see this one canter...to see if he paddled like his mom?

"Battle Joined. I hope they don't change it."

You mean like War Front's winning son, Lines of Battle? Who went to Hong Kong and promptly got renamed the more Socially-responsible Helene Super Star?

I'm watching since this morning, this is indeed addictive

Is Tapit a chromy chestnut under his grey? He sure does sire a lot of chestnut with white.

Is that unusual...an already-named animal? Watching the live stream is addictive.

Most of them are unnamed, but I've seen quite a few thus far with names. Summer Wind always names theirs, usually within days of birth. I noticed some of Mandy Pope's have been named, too (like the Plum Pretty). It's not always noted in the Sale Index, either. But you see it when you look at the catalog page.

678 is a MdO colt out of War Front's Summer Soiree...should be fireworks.
$500,000...not quite fireworks.

680 is a tall, attractive grey filly by Unbridled's Song...is this his last crop?
Goes for a modest $100,000.

BaroqueAgain1 · Wed Sep 16, 2015 4:42 pm

681 another lovely Tapit filly...I'm a sucker for a silver horse with black mane and tail, with big, dark eyes. Man, he gives his babies beautiful heads.
$385,000.

682 is a Distorted Humor colt out of the great broodmare, Supercharger.
$275,000. Wonder if that will be an RNA?

BaroqueAgain1 · Wed Sep 16, 2015 4:46 pm

683, a rather rare bay filly by Tapit out of the good MdO racemare, Super Espresso.
Some fireworks...headed to a million.
Hammered at $975,000. She's leggy and looks like she might run.

RNA? Really?

Katewerk · Wed Sep 16, 2015 4:54 pm

What was wrong with 686? (Giant's Causeway colt)

IKR?

Don't know...didn't see him. (actually left my computer for a moment

)
I've noticed that the Giant's Causeway's haven't exactly been lighting up the board.

mariasmon · Wed Sep 16, 2015 4:58 pm

There are SO MANY Giant's Causeways out there. Sure, he can get a top horse. But they aren't very selective with his books, so there's that, too.

695, bred to be grey. By Unbridled's Song out of a Tapit mare.

Unlike Tapit, though, UBS youngsters tend to be very dark, steel grey with a blaze. This boy looks very handsome...gone past 600,000.
Hammers for $700,000.

BaroqueAgain1 · Wed Sep 16, 2015 5:14 pm

696 is by Bodemeister, but looks JUST like a Tapit...who is the dam sire here. Interesting to see how Tapit does as a broodmare sire.

BaroqueAgain1 · Wed Sep 16, 2015 5:18 pm

I see that 682, the Distorted Humor/Supercharger colt, is an RNA. (Hammered for only $275,000, so not surprised.)

BaroqueAgain1 · Wed Sep 16, 2015 5:31 pm

704, is a chestnut Tapit full bro to the grey Dance Card. To my amateur eye, doesn't look as balanced as the usual Tapit.
Hammers at $185,000.
