Any catching your eye as of yet?
I got to see the Into Mischief/Madame Orbe filly at the one of the Wavertree tours for myracehorse and thought she was stunning. (Low key want them to buy her but I think sheâs going to be super expensive).
A filly we bred Hip 570 (St Patrickâs Day - Jazilâs Dream) worked an eighth in 9.4. We sold her in January 2022 for $12k, which we were satisfied. At the time, she was a chunky, stocky little filly with weak feetâŠand as it turned out, chips in both hind ankles. She has matured beautifully, and grown a LOT. We saw her yesterday and deMeric has done a marvelous job with her. I hope she sells well, and goes on to be a successful runner!
We bought another mare, Her Special Way, last year in January in foal to Valiant Minister. The colt is unremarkableâŠawkward, big, powerful, but a bit coarse. We didnât buy her for the colt, my husband picked her out because he thought she looked fancy and could make a nice sport horse broodmare. The Valiant Minister colt (âEdâ, as in âSpecial Edâ) was an afterthoughtâŠby a cheap stallion, we considered just raising him and finding him a nice home as a pretty gray gelding. Then Specialâs 2020 filly by Tunwoo (another cheap stallion) was stunning at the 2022 OBS sale and sold for a whopping $140,000. âDash Awayâ went on to finish a strong second in her first start, but is recovering from tieback surgery and hopefully will run again soon.
Her Special Way had a Valiant Minister colt in 2021 (before we bought her) that sold last fall as a yearling for $45k. He was pretty nice, a bit more put together than ours, but it made us think âHey, thereâs hopeâŠmaybe Ed will turn out ok!â On Thursday, Edâs full brother worked a blazing quarter in 20.4 and looked brilliant doing it. Friday we received a few phone calls and messages asking if we would consider selling the mare (!).
Special had a gorgeous filly by my stallion Saketini on Feb 15. We bred her back on foal heat, but she checked open yesterday. She is a lovely kind mare, intelligent and classy, one I would prefer to keep (especially given how super this filly is!). But it would probably be a smart financial decision to sell her now, or at the very least send her to Kentucky to breed her up.

These are just some that Iâve been watching
558 Munnings/In Full Compliance $1mil to Frank Fletcher Racing
570 St Patrickâs Day/Jazilâs Dream $180k to Lugamo Racing @EventerAJ
600 Twirling Candy/Laudation $900k to Hideyuki Mori
626 Practical Joke/Louisiana Voodoo $925k to Speedway Stables
650 Violence/Maritimeconnetion $410
Thrilled that âJazzyâ sold so well, and Lugamo Racing has some pretty nice horses so it looks like she will get every chance to succeed. Selfishly hoping she stays in FL to run, so I may get to watch her in person (and perhaps pick up some FL breeders fund $$). The Valiant Minister - Her Special Way colt brought $170K, and another colt we foaled for a client Commissioner - Harlan Shuffle sold for $200K.
My other 2yos have been in training, are on a light break but will start back up and hopefully aim for the June sale.

752 Omaha Beach/Pacific Heat $690k to Kerri Radcliffe agent.
QuestionsâŠ
Sometimes it will state that the buyer is an âagentâ, but for others it doesnât, even if that buyer is known to be an agent.
Does that mean the âagentâ is buying for themselves or ???
Just curious.
How does one find out who the agent is buying for?
ETA: how often does it happen that a horse that has already been run through the sales & âsoldâ ends up being run through again at the end?
This just happened with hip 654, hammered at $250k first time around to Music City Stables.
Just went for $190k.
I did not catch why he was being offered again.
Maybe you knowâŠ.
For the Jazil filly.
When sold, it listed Lugamo Racing as the buyer for her.
However, it now shows Emerald Sales agent as the buyer.
Why the change?
It is listed as âPSâ after the buyer Emerald Sales, agent. âPSâ stands for Post Sale, meaning a deal that happens back in the barn after the horse goes through the ring. Usually that is common after an RNA; the consignor and buyer will compromise on a suitable price and take that offer to the office, where the results are updated from (example) âRNA 20,000â to â19,000 PS.â Sometimes the number is lower than RNA value (if owner over-values the horse for the market) and sometimes the final price is above the RNA value (because the owner holds firm, and buyer agrees horse is worth what owner wants).
In this fillyâs case, she was not listed RNA and the price did not change. HOWEVER, I just did a quick search and I had forgotten that Lugamo Racing Stable was who purchased her from us in January 2022. SoâŠLugamo bid her (their own filly) up to 180k and bought her back (essentially an RNA, but they signed the ticket instead of placing a predetermined sale value in the office). Lugamo must have worked a deal with Emerald Sales, who (acting as agent) purchased the filly for a client.
Itâs possible Emerald Sales was the under bidder, and had a limit of $180k, and the way the back-and-forth of bidding works, they didnât want to go $190k and stopped when Lugamo put their hand up at $180. Lugamo felt she was worth that, so they worked a deal to let her go at that price.

Thank you for that explanation.
@mommy_peanut. If I remember correctly, the horse was put back through the ring because the buyer hadnât established proper credit.
