2015 November Sales Thread

Doooood. Weanlings going for $2-3 million??? Holey cow!

Now we know where all the money was hiding... it was waiting for weanlings

Insanity at the sales...

You could go crazy trying to apply logic to these prices. It's clear in a lot of instances that a couple of bidders just aren't going to let go. This isn't a bad thing; it keeps a lot of people who love horses alive and working.

I can state, with complete confidence, that the best future broodmare in the sale appears in book 3, 4, or 5, and will sell in the middle to high five or low six figures. She's in foal to a quasi-fashionable sire, has a third dam that anyone as old as me would recognize, and will be the dam of at least one if not two champions.

The only problem is...I can't tell you which hip she is.

Terrific, great pedigree by Galileo in foal to War Front goes for $1.9 million

She has a unusual marking.

Hip 390, One Gun, sold in foal to Magician for $30,000. She was a $450,000 2-year-old last year... and earned $16,000 on the track. Ouch.
