What are the chances she runs in the Cigar?

Pope: My plans right now would be to retire her...We obviously wouldn’t want to take any undue chances with her at this point. #KeeNov

She's a sprinter and does not have stellar breeding, commercially speaking. By Bowman's Band out of a dam that only won at Mountaineer. Dam is out of a good broodmare sire line, though.Ziggypop wrote:Thank goodness the Doll stays here.
However, as a newbie, I thought she would sell for a lot more. Can someone enlightened me please?

I was just thinking to myself what I wouldn't give for a portrait of Mandy's broodmare band by the end of the Keeneland sales. That would be one fantastic group shot lol! Or, she could put out a calendar...each mare gets her own month. I'd so buy that.

Mandy Pope said initial plans are to retire Groupie Doll but Buff was making pitch for Cigar Mile. "I really don't know," Pope said.

Whoops, the War Front x Meridiana (GER) colt is an out, as is the colt's dam.

So, how does it work now? I heard the announcer that everyone has til noon tomorrow to "move their purchases." Clearly, they pay up and then make shipping arrangements with the former owners/trainers?

For all the hand wringing being done in the FT November thread, Japanese buyers haven't been very active at KeeNov thus far.
Katsumi Yoshida paid $1.5M for Diamondrella (GB). Shadai paid $1.3M for Zealous Cat. Koji Maeda paid $100K for the Blame x Indian Valley weanling. Masa Otani paid $100K for Bluegrass Chatter. And that's it.
The most active buyer so far is Don Alberto Corp, with 16 mares (that cost a total of about $7,125,000). Guess they've got a barn to fill.

KBIF is "Kentucky Breeders Incentive Fund"...thats for KY bred horses.
The buyers already have the line of credit to the auction, so they just need to pull a truck around and take the hips they bought. The sellers get their portion of the money directly from auction.
I'm so glad Mandy got Dolly. What a lovely broodmare band she's managed to put together. What exactly is her background? Where did she come across all the cash she's shelling out?
