I know i'm at work and that's what i'm waiting on is Ebby. They are on HIP 118 so not much longer now.

amfuller · Tue Nov 05, 2013 2:32 pm

Eblouissante is up next.

BaroqueAgain1 · Tue Nov 05, 2013 2:35 pm

My goodness, she looks gorgeous...and towers over the handler!

amfuller · Tue Nov 05, 2013 2:37 pm

Good grief you can really tell just how big Ebby is after looking at all these other mares for the last hour she is HUGE!

went for $2.1

starrydreamer · Tue Nov 05, 2013 2:39 pm

$2.1 million, not bad. Wonder who got her.

She needed to pee the whole time, poor girl.

BaroqueAgain1 · Tue Nov 05, 2013 2:40 pm

$2,100,000. Anyone know who bought her?

amfuller · Tue Nov 05, 2013 2:43 pm

now the wait begins to see who bought her. Keeneland updates the sales every 20 so about hip 146ish it should be up as to who bought Ebby. Unless somebody tweets it before.

Just got it. Ebby bought by Ian Banwell of St. George Farm

Carotene · Tue Nov 05, 2013 2:46 pm

Is there a replay I can watch of Ebby? I missed her darn it and would love to see how big she is...and how pretty.

Nice! Ian Banwell is the breeder and owner of Mr Commons, among others. Mr Commons is, of course, trained by John Shirreffs as well. He breeds to race, so I'm pleased.

I'm sure somebody will put it up. She is pretty and very BIG and she had cotton in her ears!

Am I the only one who finds her to be narrow in the front? I don't know how that type of conformation affects running, but I'd appreciate if someone could address it.

Mr. Banwell was bidding by phone, via Keeneland's Tom Thornbury who happened to be sitting directly in front of the Daily Racing Form staff in the press box - watch the action unfold:

Beyond thrilled that not only will Ebby stay in the US but will also remain in training. Fantastic news!

Session ends with Boisterous (Hip 197) selling for just $350,000, I suspect he'll RNA.

Nope, his sale went through.
