I didn't know that. I thought she was always owned by EK.Eblouissante was previously bought for $60,000 at the 2005 Keeneland September yearling sale.

Thanks for the info! The BH story noted Ebbie went through the KEE 05 auction? Sold for $60K?

I think they meant Zenyatta. Zenyatta sold for $60,000 as a yearling at Keeneland. Zenyatta definitely would have been a yearling in 2005.

Here are a few videos of the high priced mares so far from Keeneland in the sale ring.

I would also think Upperline in foal to War Front may bring some big money too.mariasmon wrote:Of all the ones who've gone to Japanese buyers so far, I'm primarily bummed about Awesome Feather, although I know she'll be very well looked after in Japan.
As for Groupie Doll, I do hope one of the many top buyers who race/breed in the US will see fit to add her to their broodmare band. I know all the biggies have looked at her, including Mandy Pope and Marie Jones.
Not that her Fasig Tipton purchases were insignificant, but I noticed Mandy didn't buy anything during the first Keeneland session. Neither did the Joneses, for that matter. Perhaps there's something during Wednesday's session they really want. In addition to Groupie Doll, there's also Summer Soiree and Daisy Devine, plus Star Billing, who could easily top the session. She's packing that combo of pedigree/looks/race record that's hard to beat (a la Love and Pride).
I also think Arena Elvira is a very nice offering, but I doubt she has a chance to top. And Zoftig is as desirable to me as any mare. She's a G1W who's already produced 1 G1Ws. The only knock on her is that she's 15.

Thanks for that, Amfuller. Broadway's Alibi takes after her dam side. I don't see much of her sire.amfuller wrote:Here are a few videos of the high priced mares so far from Keeneland in the sale ring.

Hip #213 is in the ring now...Reaching in foal to Frankel. Just sold for 675,000 - they had on the screen Pregnant and Cribber. Do they have to tell buyers if a horse has bad habits? Just curious.
Also, when they say "sign the ticket," does that mean the person who did the buying signs something to confirm the purchase.
And, buyback rate - is that when consignors buy back their horse?
First time I've really checked out this part of racing so sorta new to me. The auctions I usually go to are for antiques lol!

Good to see the Chilean group that bought the Vinery KY farm buying some good mares.

My guess is Mandy Pope spills the bank for Groupie Doll.
What's her hip number?

They do want to say whether a mare that was bred is pregnant or not. Not catching could be something a buyer would be worried about. Also, cribbing is something that some might see as a bad trait they don't want in their barn or and foals of cribbers also tend to crib. Could be an issue.
Sign the ticket is the person who has credit with the sales agency signing the ticket. No one can just walk in and sign a ticket. Sometimes a signor is signing on behalf of someone else.
Buyback is an RNA 9reserve not attained)... so yes, that is when a mare is reserved at say 100,000 and only gets bid to 50,000. She would be a "buy back" or RNA.

Unfold the Rose, dam of Stephanie's Kitten and carrying a full sibling to that one, went for $325,000. My guess is that she is an RNA. One would think that mare is worth more and the Ramseys know it.
