Who do they send Lady Aurelia to for her first cover? Ship her to Galileo? Dubawi?

[lurkey mclurker]

Love the Chase i/f to Uncle Mo $1.3 million

ETA: Claire Novak at BH is saying that's an RNA

Oooooh Paca Paca Farm got Kitten's Roar

[lurkey mclurker]

Stopchargingmaria is up next!

How about Ghostzapper? Justify was produced by a Scat Daddy/Ghostzapper cross...and she wouldn't have to take a trans-Atlantic flight.
Or a Holy Bull son? Scat Daddy/Holy Bull gave Coolmore their fast, handsome colt, Caravaggio.

Hip 200, Lady Aurelia, champion and multiple Grade 1 winner goes for $7.5 million

They wanted the bidding to start at $10 million so might be an RNA

Stop saying that. Where the auctioneer starts the suggested bidding has nothing to do with the reserve. If it did, the amount of manipulation that could be happening can't be measured.

Oooh, a bit feisty tonight, are we?

Horsebagger is correct.

Where the auctioneer starts is no indication of actual reserve, and is usually well ABOVE it.
I work with auctioneers every week, on the block with them. It's called fishing.
Most auction with a pattern....and that's start above asking....work their way down to asking......then go below asking where they'll start their actual live bids and work their way back up.

[Summer Bird]

My way of telling if a horse is going to be an RNA is when the auctioneer tries to stall to see if someone will put a bid in before he hits the gavel.

I want to buy Gas Station Sushi just to give her a better name...

Lady Aurelia is up!

I was hoping someone would buy the filly "Conquest Corn Dog" from the Conquest dispersal and rename her but alas.

[Flanders]

There is alot about NH sales that really confuse me particularly a "buyback" are Vendors not able to set reserves?

Yes that is essentially what a buyback is. Its when the reserve is not attained (RNA) and the consignor has to pay a fee to "buy back" the horse. I believe its a percentage of the last live bid.

Thoroughbred owners generally think its bad luck to rename horses and once a horse has raced its next to impossible to get its name changed. Perhaps if the horse came from another country and its name was copyrighted or something, then it would be forced to change.
This happened when Argentinian G1SW Chuck Berry came to the US. They had to change his name to Grand Berry while he raced here.

Not feisty, just sensitive to being accurate on a public forum about things one knows and doesn't know.
Facts matter.

Fees are paid on the hammer price, regardless if its an RNA or a sale. There are lots of times that there is no way to measure when the last live bid was.

Stonestreet owns a share in Ghostzapper, so that is possible.

Personally, I think it would be a crime to not send her to Galileo.

Sprinter mares (especially ones by Scat Daddy) + Galileo = 2,000 Guineas winners.

Lady Eli is in the ring.

[BaroqueAgain1]

The Lady goes for $4,200,000.
That seems low...unless buyers are concerned that a mare who already went through one bout of laminitis might be prone to a repeat while heavily pregnant?

[Carotene]

The Lady goes for $4,200,000.

That was...a bit underwhelming. I can’t compare her to yesterday’s Lady Aurelia though. I wonder if she RNA’d?
Oh nope. John Sikura bought her.

La Verdad's Tapit filly, 116A, in the ring. With her blaze and four sox, she's pretty flashy.
$800,000.
