[Natalma]

If she were mine, I'd approach Coolmore about a foal sharing deal to send her to Galileo.

I wasn't even this happy when she RNAd last year. I hope she goes to Tapit and not Galileo, though.

[Treve]

2.7 million$ for Hip 127

[BlindLucky]

Marie Jones bought the $2.1 million mare

Who is she? She's bought a few.

And on a side note, I'm sitting in the indoor walking ring, and it's more fun this time because there are lots of bidders out here

[BlindLucky]

2.7 million$ for Hip 127

Not sure which group, but one of the Japanese bidders out here got her.

Galileo would be a lot of Sadler's Wells, although I'm not sure how much Sadler's Wells is too much. But if he wants her go to Galileo might as well do it when she's a maiden and there's no current foal to mess with the logistics of shipping her.

I'm sure Ramsey is absolutely heartbroken at having to keep her.

Marie Jones bought the $2.1 million mare

Who is she? She's bought a few.

She and her late husband, Aaron, bred Ashado and Speightstown (among others) and have a really nice broodmare band at Taylor Made.

[Izvestia]

89, Let Faith Arise in foal to Tapit goes for $2,100,000

Can't believe anyone paid that much for such a short-legged, dumpy little mare, G1 winner or not.

I'm trying to figure that out too. She doesn't have a particularly sexy pedigree. She sold for $925,000 last year. What's the difference? being in foal to Tapit???

That's twice in 2 years Stephanie's Kitten RNA'd for a bit under her reserve. How much you wanna bet those weren't live bids and Ramsey was boosting her up?

I was at Taylor Made recently, and they took us to Marie's barn. Yep she has a whole barn to herself with some darn nice horses in it. Joyful Victory and Evening Jewel, Bonnie Blue Flag among them. Adding to the collection I guess

Sugar Shock to Japan, the Yoshidas.

ETA: And Sweet Reason too.

Apparently they all have cameras in their stalls because Mr. Jones liked to watch them whenever he wanted. They have some neat memorabilia from the mares in their barn, too.

[Northport]

Treve half sister in the ring now - have to imagine the Yoshidas will be all over that

Tiffany's Honour RNA'd. This sale is a downer

[mariasmon]

I'm going to be really curious about the percentage of RNAs when this is all over.

[Northport]

Whatsdachances to Yoshidas as well

[lurkey mclurker]

I'm going to be really curious about the percentage of RNAs when this is all over.

Add Treve's half-sister to that list as well...

[lurkey mclurker]

Angela Renee for $3 million...

[Private Thoughts]

Hip 79 Ivanavinalot (Songibird's dam) goes for 885 000

Really thought she was going to go for more.

Yeah I thought she might break the million mark. Surprised she didn't even hit 900k Maybe she's RNA'd?

Blood Horse says that she was sold privately to a partnership for close to the final bid price afterwards. This is coming from Hill n Dale.

However, John Sikura, owner of Hill 'n' Dale Farms in Kentucky, later said the mare was sold to an undisclosed partnership for an amount close to the final bid.

[lurkey mclurker]

Aubby K generating a LOT of interest... they really liked her Tapit weanling colt at the start of the sale & she's carrying a Tapit now too. Over $2 million right now...



ETA: $2.4 million to "the lady upstairs"

[Flanders]

I'm going to be really curious about the percentage of RNAs when this is all over.

It has to be around 40% right now.
