A.P. Indy is their Grandfather…close enough.
There were some gorgeous yearlings ,as always.
Darley didn’t seem to be there, though the Japanese interests bought a few lovely ones and, it was good to see, that some good ones stayed in the U.S.
There were some high reserves. The A.P Indy colt was RNA at $975,000.
Some lovely ones in Book 2 today as well.

Well, not really, but Jump Start has produced some nice horses in his own right.
that a.p indy colt that rna’ed at 975.00 i would have let go, he did not have that great of a page. crazy.
For those who breed and race Thoroughbreds, he had a superb page, being by one of the premier sires of the last century and out of one of the best familes in the stud book.
Though he didn’t sell in the ring, he sold shortly thereafter.
I think if you tried to tell your Father and your Grandfather that they were the same person they might be a little annoyed. :no:
Is there a link to the sales results page yet? Anyone know the name of the dam on the Distorted Humor colt & her breeding/race record?
“I think if you tried to tell your Father and your Grandfather that they were the same person they might be a little annoyed.” !
Trying to refrain from comment on how being by A.P. Indy or a son of A.P. Indy differs, except for Eeeeek/Really/Wow.
I saw some of it online and there were some very nice yearlings…ahhhh…if only I was really rich…nice to see such nice yearllings even if none of them are in my future!
laurie, i work for a vet that breeds to race and sell at the sales and she too commented that the page was not that great as well. i know the sire line was good, but the dam line was not.
Does the sale seem to be going fairly well this year? As in more yearlings selling and better prices , etc? Market better?
Australia is about to head into our sale season… hoping sales are getting better.
A bit off track question but after watching the you tube clip of the #131. Do the horses get scoped after they go through the ring? Just wondering since the video clip said that the colt had been scoped so many times that they finally said no. Here in Aus, all yearlings get scoped by independant vet, if they don’t pass the scope the buyer doesn’t have to buy them.
I have had yearlings have the random x-ray ( ours go to sales with x-rays on file for anyone to look at as well), heart ultrasounds, nose measurements and random other health checks done but scoping not one of them. So just curious.
P.
If you had been at the sale on the day the colt sold and asked 100 people to pick the 5 best pages, 90 of them would have picked that page. None of them–indeed nobody at Keeneland who had any experience with TB familes–would have said that that dam line wasn’t good. 
Sorry. It’s a fact whether you chose to believe it or not.
Yearlings are generally scoped by individual buyers before they go to the ring. How many scopes a horse gets indicates the level of interest, and who’s interested, and helps a seller set a reserve.
But multiple scopes can also cause irritation, especially if the vets are working too fast. So occasionally when a horse is very popular–usually meaning 10+ scopes–the consignor will say “no more” and give potential buyers a list of vets that have already scoped the horse so that they can check.
Buyers can also scope post-sale and if the horse’s throat doesn’t meet the conditions of sale, they can return the horse.
