I wonder how it will go? They’ve apparently increased their capacity to handle bidding by phone.
There are some very nice horses in the catalog and from what I can see in the walking videos, some real lookers as well.:yes:
I hope it will be a success.
@skydy you can watch videos of all the breezes too. OBS has a great website with tons of info. I hope the sale is really strong and makes up for everything else that’s going on.
Here’s a link to the catalog (with videos) : https://www.obssales.com/marpreview/2020/
That’s where I’ve been perusing the catalog, the under tack, and the walking videos.:yes: They’ve made sure to mention the availability due to the current circumstances.
#147 an AP filly, has a nice look and a nice walk on video.
#237 is even better.
The MDO filly really looks nice. I’m going off the videos because it very hard to see the horses in the sales ring.
I thought the Frosted filly would sell for more. #44
#54 is a nice Midshipman filly out of a Street Cry mare.
Shackleford filly looks really nice on video.#72
Exaggerator colt looks nice. #84
Frosted filly #117. Looks nice on video.
#147 A.P. filly looks great on video.
Bet she’ll be RNA
Mr. Big colt hammer price 50k.
RNA
Nice Perfect Soul colt, hammer price 60k.
#319 another really nice A.P. colt.
There were a few very high prices and many low ones and RNA’s. It’s certainly a shame for the sellers and consignors.
Yes, some really nice young stock and many with no bids even close to what they should have brought.
Lots of RNAs, some head scratchers. OBS did an excellent job with sanitation, with gloved attendants to open doors, all chairs and railings wiped down immediately as people left.
Hip 237 American Pharoah filly was stunning in person. Very correct, very fluid, good size. Quiet, good mind. As was the 319 Am Ph colt, quiet with a great walk.
#44 Frosted filly was compact with decent balance, big hip and ok shoulder that seems very typical Frosted. She had a strange right hind, it was very turned out, like the hock down to hoof pointed out to a startling degree. The left hind was normal, very slightly out as should be.
Loved the #65 MDO colt, very correct and you could see the Danehill.
The 275,000 Dialed In colt, #141 was another of my picks. Big, pretty horse with good bone and great balance.
Very impressed by 320 Runhappy colt who sold for 475,000. Big with a great body, balance and good hip.
Keep an eye out for #530, filly by Malibu Moon. Loved her balance, size, and strength. Good bone, nice shoulder. Sweet gallop too, beautiful mover with a huge stride.
#541 Broken Vow colt, very classy. Typical big Broken Vow ears and plain head, but great balance and walk. I’d love him as an eventer!
If I could take one home, it would be #578, Honor Code filly. She was big, with a fantastic neck and shoulder. Great balance, nice hip, sweet personality. And splashed with white-- high stockings, with dark spots all over it.
OH, that’s why. It wasn’t noticeable on line.
There seem to be many RNAs today, as there were yesterday. Some nice horses. It’s too bad. Hopefully the tracks will keep racing without spectators.
California Chrome colt in the ring, few people bidding, colt is at 4k, auctioneer says “where are the Chromies?” :lol::lol::lol: Hammer price 8k.
