2018 Keeneland November Sale

[Flanders]

Gateway (AP Indy x Toussaud) sold for $15K in foal to Galileo son Noble Mission...

http://apps.keeneland.com/sales/Nov18/pdfs/3250.pdf

Sold to Polo Green Stable, Kentucky. A 2006 M, she has such a beautiful page until you get to her Race (Unraced) and Produce Records.

Its weird to me that she has been bred almost exclusively to turf stallions. I mean send her to a dirt stallion and maybe she produces something better? Her only winner was by a dirt stallion. Her full sister produced a GSW by Distorted Humor.

IIRC Seattle Serenade ran one or two really impressive races but couldn't hold together.

He pulled up in a race a Santa Anita. Was out for a year. He was never as brilliant as he was before the injury. He did mange three wins, two allowance races and a cheap stake race at Fresno

He spent time at Pegasus in WA state for his rehab where I got to visit him. Getting him back to a high level was a bit of a long-shot but they did everything possible. He was very talented and worth the effort. It's been painful to watch these last couple of years wishing for a better outcome. Selling at auction for $17k kind of feels like salt in the wound. I don't know anything about the buyer, Joe Guerrier, but I'm going to keep Seattle Serenade in my VS awhile longer just in case.

Yeah, I agree. Maybe this sale gives her that opportunity in her time left at stud.

As a dog breeder, where we have faster turnover in generations, I'd look at this as a rare opportunity (low risk - high reward) and not worry about whether she produced a winner. At that price, anything she does produce could give a breeder with even modest means a bedrock foundation upon which to build.

So why was Japan sold? Anyone know?

Lack of interest maybe? 16 mares in 2018.

He sold for $50K to...Santa Escolastica, agt. for Tupacireta SRLAG.

So I'm assuming a stud farm in South America.

He was an Out. So was the foal I was looking for. A lot of Outs and RNAs in the 12th session.
