So Hill n'Dale?

Maybe, but I think he also purchases for various clients of Bob Baffert's.

Dang...I missed the Tapit/Miss Besilu because of the technical issues the Keeneland site is having, my screen froze.

#37, a POTN colt, doesn't seem to have the laid-back attitude of that line...lots of side-stepping, pulling and rearing. $350,000.

This 1/2 to American Patriot was sold to Katsumi Yoshida.

#53, a grey MdO Half to Points Off the Bench, went for $800,000.
#54, a War Front filly out of the Galileo mare Moth, goes at $650,000.

This 1/2 to American Patriot was sold to Katsumi Yoshida.
Was it because he showed so much "spirit?"

#23 has a name already - Hollywood Wife - by Giant's Causeway out of Hollywood Story. Pretty filly, goes for $875,000, which I think is high bid so far today.

The buyer was Mayberry Farm.

#9, a filly by Pioneerof the Nile, has a lovely female family with Lakeway as a 2nd dam. Pretty girl, goes for $575,000.

Horse France

Europeans seem to be tapping into POTN now.

#32, Kitten's Joy colt out of Keertana, who was not only good on the track, but who also dropped Ticonderoga, goes for $500,000.
#34, our next Scat Daddy, very pretty bay filly (other than a high baby rump ), also $500,000.

Shadwell got him, which pleases me

[mariasmon]

325k for the full brother to Hit it a Bomb and Brave Anna? Guessing he'll be an RNA.

Correct on the RNA.

[mariasmon]

#35, a Mdo full bro to Lochte, is a good-sized, fine-looking boy, even if he is a May foal. Goes for $560,000.
#36, our next Tapit, a bay colt out of stakes winner Let Faith Arise, has the balanced, compact build of a Tapit. Goes to $600,000.

The MDO sold to OXO Equine and the Tapit to Courtlandt Farm.

Maybe, but I think he also purchases for various clients of Bob Baffert's.

Ah okay. But likely staying in the US, which makes me happy. I feel like all the good War Fronts go to Europe/UK.

#56 interests me...Tapit colt out of wonderful race mare My Conquestadory. The pretty bay hammers at $525,000.
#58 is another Tapit, a bay filly out of stakes winning My Happy Face (Tiz Wonderful)...$575,000.

Thanks for the Tapit filly photo.

Godolphin bought the War Front/Long View filly from Claiborne for $500k.

Ah okay. But likely staying in the US, which makes me happy. I feel like all the good War Fronts go to Europe/UK.

Hopefully. With that female side, I'd like to see the horse try dirt first.

Dang..I missed 60, the KJ/Nereid colt. Hope he brought good $$$$.

MV Magnier bought a Scat Daddy filly who's 1/2 to GSW Baby J for $500k.

[mariasmon]

For $575k, I'd keep that Malibu Moon/Oatsee.

[BaroqueAgain1]

62, Malibu Moon colt out of Oatsee, is a hunk of a chestnut. Looks like mom's side IMO, more than dad's. $575,000.

MV Magnier bought a Scat Daddy filly who's 1/2 to GSW Baby J for $500k.
I think Coolmore wants to acquire as many good Scat Daddy's as they can, even those they didn't breed themselves.

[starrydreamer]

For $575k, I'd keep that Malibu Moon/Oatsee.

I'd agree more if it was a filly. But even 575k seems low for that one.
