The price/pedigree differences between the 1st day and these next two make me feel like the colts bought for those mega-bucks on Monday are horses that the buyers feel have stallion potential.
The horses going under the hammer now look like they're destined first and foremost to be racehorses.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the 2nd book of yearlings produce more winners in the next couple of years.
