There were some lovely mares and weanlings as usual.
Was fun to see hip #170 sporting hunter braids, mane and tail!
Congratulations to LaurieB whose homebred mare has gone on to produce a gorgeous filly that was very well received at the sale.
Arrogate’s dam was RNA at $4,700,000.
California Chrome’s dam sold for $1,950,000

Wow, those are some insane prices. How is anybody with a moderate interest in the sport suppose to be able to get into the sport?!

Start moderately (rather than at the top.)
And thank you, skydy!

NOT consider buying G1SW or G1SW-producing mares in foal to expensive stallions as a way to get in? That would be like trying to get into jumpers by buying a horse who’s winning on the GP circuit.

Surprised that Paid Up Subscriber’s dam, Shriek, didn’t sell for more at today’s Keeneland session…

These are the best of the best. There are plenty of sales and sessions later in some sales (Keeneland for example) where you can get a cheaper horse. This is a select sale where horses are supposed to bring prices like this, when they don’t bring these prices at FT November Sale, we’re in trouble.

I was shocked by Shriek today. Does anyone have any insight as to why she only brought 100k?
Congrats LaurieB
LaurieB that Candy Ride filly was gorgeous, and not the first beautiful one your mares have produced either.
I’m impressed by your modesty and I do notice how your horses go, as much as I can, since you aren’t one to crow about them online.
You must be thrilled to pieces with your mares and their babies. Well done!

Yea, it is kind of curious considering how much her daughter (Paid Up) made on Monday. She was in foal to a $10,000 stallion who went to stud in 2015. I wouldn’t consider him to be “hot”. She did abort last year. Decent cover date. But these were would “held” her back.
Funny things is I know a lot of the people who have bought into this family. The selling mare was bought by a friend of mine who works for SF Bloodstock. SF Bloodstock are pretty astute/sharp players/buyers. They are pretty good at spotting value in horses that “fell, slipped through the cracks”.
Shriek was bought by another guy I know at this sale (Keeneland) in 2014 in foal to Scat Daddy for $37,000. I am sure his clients were a little disappointed with the yesterday’s price. The Scat Daddy she was carry was offer at the same sale last year as a weanling but didn’t sell, $25,000 RNA.
So it must have had issues. It is a filly and was not offered this year as a yearling. So either it had major issues, got sold privately after Paid UP became a Graded stakes winner or the breeder decided to keep and race.
Paid Up Subscriber was bought as a yearling by a good friend of mine. And again the other day by another good friend as agent for Peter Brant’s White Birch Farm for big bucks.
Thanks Gumtree.
Agreed on SF Bloodstock. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched a mare go through that I thought was a very good deal only to see that they were the ones to sign for it.
