Puca is going through the sales ring this fall with a $5million dollar expectation. Honestly, I think she will bring more than her reserve and she will go overseas.
Honestly surprised to see this considering what kind of producer she is. John Stewart said in an interview he’s an investor at the end of the day but I thought I recalled him being interviewed a few months back saying she’d never be for sale.
With the declining mare populations and all of the big name mares going overseas to the middle east, China, or Japan; maybe we need to start thinking about the preservation of our breed in North America than the almighty dollar that a lot of these billionaire investors seem to only care about.
Having these millionaires and billionaires in the game has always been part of it since forever ago. But it seems with the most recent generation of money influx; it’s all about capitalism or the investment than the betterment of the sport or the breed. Do these people actually get into horses thinking they are an investment and one that will net a net-positive; especially at that level of money? Puca is definitely a complete luck of the draw and an outlier that has provided a net positive.
