I've been wondering whether they regret their decision by now, since he hasn't done much so far. I know he has only turned 3, but he hasn't raced yet and his workout times don't set the track on fire either.
That's kinda what I thought about Stephanie's Kitten, until he sold her privately (for a lot less than $3.95 mil).Union Rags wrote:I get it with a broodmare, although maybe no $3.95 million.

Well, he raced her another year and got another Breeders Cup and Flower Bowl win with her, so I guess he did ok!mariasmon wrote: That's kinda what I thought about Stephanie's Kitten, until he sold her privately (for a lot less than $3.95 mil).
Who did Wine Princess procreate with?ThreeMustangs wrote:Azeri's first foal, the ill-fated Take Control (then named Vallenzeri) was a $7.7M RNA at Kee Sept in 2008. He sold for $1.9M at Kee Apr the next year.
I think she had a War Front colt last year. Bred to Tapit for 2016.Somnambulist wrote:Who did Wine Princess procreate with?ThreeMustangs wrote:Azeri's first foal, the ill-fated Take Control (then named Vallenzeri) was a $7.7M RNA at Kee Sept in 2008. He sold for $1.9M at Kee Apr the next year.
Oh, so she is stateside. That's cool.Sparrow Castle wrote:I think she had a War Front colt last year.

Pretty sure she is. I read something about Hard Not To Like, who he also bought, and it stated that he boarded his mares at Denali--and that can't have been more than 2 or 3 months agoSparrow Castle wrote: DATTT Farm bought her for $3m in foal to War Front at the November 2014 fasig tipton sale. Last I heard, she was at Denali. Being a daughter of Azeri and in my Virtual Stable her whole career, I tried to keep track of her. Hard sometimes with broodmares, so I'm not sure if she's still there.
Thanks, BlindLucky and mariasmon. I'd love to visit her some day. I wonder if they'll sell her War Front colt to recoup some of that money. He sure looked like a little cracker when he was born.mariasmon wrote:Yeah, Wine Princess is at Denali. Saw her there last year. She likes visitors. Bring mints.
He's full of himself. I liked Keertana's Tapit filly, though. She had an attitude like, "Look at me. I'm special." It always amuses me when the foals think you're really there for them and not their famous mothers. Wine Princess is the next best thing to being able to see Azeri. She looks a lot like her.Sparrow Castle wrote:Thanks, BlindLucky and mariasmon. I'd love to visit her some day. I wonder if they'll sell her War Front colt to recoup some of that money.

Haha, it's so fun to see the different personalities in the foals with their moms. I'll watch for the Keertana-Tapit filly too. Hopefully, they'll both be special!mariasmon wrote:He's full of himself. I liked Keertana's Tapit filly, though. She had an attitude like, "Look at me. I'm special."

Azeri herself was a $4.4 million RNA. Sold later that year for $2,250,000.ThreeMustangs wrote:Azeri's first foal, the ill-fated Take Control (then named Vallenzeri) was a $7.7M RNA at Kee Sept in 2008. He sold for $1.9M at Kee Apr the next year.
But when you instruct the consignor to run up the bid to the reserve, you're usually not really getting any market intelligence at all, so that's not typically the motivation.Kurenai wrote:I'd guess that some put a really high RNA on the horse just to see what possible buyers would pay for it. Only explanation I can come up with.
