Tx so much, Sky !
$600,000. for a colt by Medaglia D’Oro out of a full sister to Any Given Saturday. Wish they would have shown more of him. (couldn’t get a good look at his legs…).

You’re welcome! I love the big sales.
Oh wow! Colt by Bernardini out of Wilshewed $1,600,000. ETA Actually, $1,550,000.

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.[/QUOTE]
Thank you. I did a double take when I read that. Not a good page? Wow.
[QUOTE=maxxtrot;6554284]
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.[/QUOTE]
Laurie sold 2 yesterday for megabucks. She is one of a handful of people on this forum who knows what she is talking about.
Hip 131 hails from one of the great Calumet Farm families. It just gets stronger the further back you go with several major branches besides this one.
What’s not to like about a G1 winner by classic winner and major sire Empire Maker whose second dam was a major G1 winner and dam of a $3 million sales yearling. Family of Ky Derby winner Bold Forbes, G1 2yo SW Saratoga Six, etc. , etc.
laurie, i am not aruging with you, just telling you opinions that were told to me by other people. and you know what they say, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one
Thank you Laurie! Makes sense about scoping, we use x-ray to monitor interest and help set reserves etc.
P.
Fair enough. You might mention to your vet that although she didn’t approve of the mare, others who also work in the industry felt differently.
Lane’s End liked her enough to include her in A.P. Indy’s prestigious last book.
Her owner liked her enough to spend 300K on a stud fee for her.
Keeneland liked her enough to put her in Book One.
And several bidders liked her enough to bid in the neighborhood of 900K for her offspring. And one of those was willing to pay nearly 1M for him.
Lots of opinions–and they all agree but one. 
Bwahahahahahahaha! :lol::lol::lol:

what hip #'s?
Got our honey kicked yesterday, apparently the filly kind of went backwards after she left here in June. Our “superstar” sells tomorrow, hoping she’s as nice and has as much interest as they are telling me she is.
Congrats Lori on your outstanding day yesterday.
Thanks Jennywho. Good luck with your next one!
Andrew, ours were hips #304 and #428. They sold on Tuesday.

Man, what an aggravating video-- all those talking heads and not a single decent shot of the horse 
!!!
like i said not going to argue, but this vet’s husband is a bloodstock agent, found,trained and sold a ton of big name horses. pinhooker, does very well. laurie, glad to hear you sold well, congrats.
I’d appreciate it if you could pm me his name. Thanks.
Who are we talking about with the questionable dam line? I just went and looked at #111’s (RNA for 950K) page, and it looks to me as if the dam side could not be better. First dam has 7 to race with 7 winners, including Master Command who won over 1M bucks. 3 of the seven have black type, and one daughter has already foaled a G3 winner who is a 2009 model.
Lady Wimborne was half to Allez France and is a daughter of Secretariat. She was also a prolific producer of black type , and was black type placed herself in Ireland. She might not be quite of the Hildene level, but she is La Troienne tail female with Searching as her granddam. Just can’t do much better than that.
From what I gather from The Blood Horse, the TB recession is almost certainly over.
congratulations to all on here who have done well at the sales…I myself, can only watch and live vicariously.
I also have a question…how do they make the determination as to who goes to what book? How far in advance to they determine that?
