Are the prices on the lower end or is it just me?
It’s been a minute since I’ve watched a sale.

It seems to me that the median may be good. Guessing at this point though.

Into Mischief x Smart Strike mare 1M

94-99 RNA :neutral_face:

I think tomorrows yearlings will be very well received.

The average and median sales are higher than last year. :slightly_smiling_face:

Seemed like lots of withdrawals.

Also seemed like a lot of RNAs. Are RNAs calculated into the average or median sales numbers?

They are highly skilled of course. And quick! Did you see Hip #12 rear and strike? The handler managed him beautifully.

Median and average were both up over last year’s opening session.

You’ll see more withdrawals at the ultra-select sales like Saratoga or Keeneland Book 1. If a $$$ horse has a developmental issue or even an ill-timed slight presale injury like a splint or hoof abscess, they may be held over for the 2yo sales or sold privately, or kept for racing.

For those who want a deeper dive:

 I see it doesn’t start until 6:30 lol

I’m on mountain time. Should begin any minute now.

There are some powerful pedigrees in this bunch, it should be fun to watch.

I have a lovely Gin and Tonic and some brie and crackers and calamata olives. I’m ready!

And we’re off!

I think that despite the RNAs, tonight’s sale, medians and averages will surpass last years sale.
