Surprising, the sire didn’t help her any either. I do love that old Perkins family, tho.

Jessi P, The mare we wanted was Dean’s List (hip 1526) by Holy Bull. She was part of the Mack Robinson dispersal and was big and pretty, though not entirely correct; stakes placed and in foal to Cherokee Run. 75K was a fair price for her, but more than we wanted to pay in this market. Judging by who signed for her, it looks as though she’ll probably go to South America.[/QUOTE]
OMGiH! I swear, I saw that mare and said to the person who caught me at work watching the sale: “I bet this is the mare someone I kinda know said she was gonna try and get.” :lol:
Great minds, and all that. 
So do we know if any of these Yearlings / Prospects were even brought to do anything other than race? Just courious if any of " US Hunter People" were there at the sale. :lol:

LOL Beezer, I always knew we had more in common than both working with words.

When do we expect 1832 to go through?

Rough estimate of pace, based on watching, is 50/hour. They are currently on Hip #1650 just before noon, EDT.
At 1:30 they are on hip 1742.
Laurie I really liked both of those mares too - we watched the Pulpit mare sell with interest because we have a Pulpit gelding and I wanted to see her general confo. Also loved the AP Indy - I just love him. What great broodmares he is going to have with the strong female families that were bred to him. I believe we watched her sell on the first day. And the Holy bull mare - I think he got a lot of nice mares to him as well and his daughters will do well as broodies. Darren loves HB, he is a sucker for a nice gray. Gotta love Marquetry as a broodie sire - he throws some runners, and often throws some wild color as a bonus. We have a Marquetry grandson (by Artax) and he is a wildly colored sabino, Loveable Lo (pretty well bred in his own right).
How many mares do you currently have?

You like Marquetry as a BM sire? Why??? He was a useful enough stallion, but I didn’t realize he has done anything as a BM sire.
Well more specifically I like Marquetry, not specifically as a broodie sire.
I had an Apalachee mare that I always wanted to breed to him, but never did. He just wasn’t/isn’t/will ever be commercial enough. I just loved his sire though. OMG, to win the Met and the Belmont in 5 days. What a feat.
Time Factor
So it looks like according to the Hip numbers that the Filly is going to auction on Saturday. Wouldn’t you know it … I am going up to Maryland to try a new horse for me. So more than likely I am going to miss it. AFTER ALL this conversation and excitement … So someone needs to get it on tape so I can YouTube it … LOL …
Just my luck . But you know . I have to go and ride this horse . he is awesome .
Seems like everything is on youtube these days, so I’m sure someone will post it.
Good luck with the horse.

No, tomorrow (Saturday) is the last day. About 400 horses are scheduled to go through (depending on the number of outs).
Generally speaking, the weakest lots go at the end of multi-day TB sales. They still go alphabetically (again, for the most part), much as the days earlier in the sale did. Can you still get the occasional six-figure horse on the last day? Sure. But usually that happens only if somebody close up in the family suddenly became really, really hot since the catalog was printed (which is why you can, on occasion, hear them say something along the lines of “since the catalog was printed, XYZ won ZYX stakes”).
So, in general, these will be lower-priced horses than you tend to see in the first session.
Palomino Filly and White Colt- PICTURES!
hiya. Just thought y’all would like some pictures of the Palomino Filly taken today at Keeneland. She looks great! nicely put together, clean xrays and scope. according to the owner/consignor (who is a really nice guy, btw) she’s been in training in KY since late last year and is doing great. she’s very sweet… hopefully she finds a great new home!
I’ve also posted pics of Hip 1832 a white yearling colt from Patchen Wilkes named “White Prince”.

OH WOW. THANKS FOR SHARING THOSE PICS
