I thought the same thing. Bred to the gills and a nice looking colt too.

There is a little time lag before the results are posted.

RNA

Thought he was RNA - sold for $150k

I don’t blame them. He was worth more.

He was sold for 150K

Yup I was just coming back to edit my post. Surprised they took that for him.

I’m not. :slightly_smiling_face:

If anyone’s interested, this was a good read. The author followed Taylor Made’s 2009 crop from foaling through the yearling sales and chronicled the process.

Kentucky Derby Dreams: The Making of Thoroughbred Champions by Susan Nusser

Interesting to see how Quality Road refined Into Mischief. 700K hammer

Nice A.P. colt o/o Full sister to Battle of Midway 725K hammer.

RNA

I can sort of see why. It’s not a pedigree everyone in the US is going to be familiar with, and it doesn’t scream “early 2yo speed”.

Do you mean that people in the U.S. are unfamiliar with his dam’s breeding?

You know, I was totally looking at the wrong catalog page when I posted that! Durrr, too many windows open!

Mendelssohn really isn’t generating much “buzz”, it seems.
