Yea. Pretty impressive day. Lane's End really has an embarassment of riches -- do you think they could just let him shuttle to Texas? :D

We thought about it, but property is too expensive in KY. So we're going to (brrrrrrrrrrr) NY.

That was amazing for SS today!! Four, count them four stakes winners today including 3 grade 1. Holy Hell!!! :shock:

Smart Strike , always underrated, is now about to start getting some serious respect! He was always a tremendous value at stud and his numbers have always been superb.

Go No Class family!!!!! Maybe Dance With Ravens will be able to be an affordable option.....

Yes, we purchased 22.7 acres for $33,000 a couple of years ago. We couldn't even touch property in PA and I don't want to move to western PA. Someone told me property there is cheaper.

Perhaps if we asked really nice, Bedouwia, they'd shuttle sires like SS south :), but I think I would miss paying all those shipping bills when my mares go out of state to get bred, along with all the boarding bills. I would have more money left over to buy more horses, so it would not end up being economical anyway.

Back to SS, I hadn't even heard of a couple of these stakes winners until today! I wonder if his '08 stud fee just went up????

Western PA prices vs. western NY

Postby CurrentlyRed » Sun Sep 30, 2007 5:37 pm

Property in western PA [not around Pittsburgh, however] IS cheaper than eastern PA.

It is NOT cheaper than western NY. However, once you take into account the annual property taxes . . . :roll: it might be . . .

Our property tax in NY is not even 300 dollars. It is in the clean and green/agriculture. It will be agriculture when we get things built etc. Even property in Middleburg, VA (a very expensive area) if it is being used for agriculture the property taxes are cheap. I have a friend who has a million dollar home with a guest house and his taxes are about $1,000 a year because his horses are on the majority of his land on pasture.

I've seen people knock Smart Strike's high percentages because a lot of his offspring is successfull at Woodbine, where the class of the horses arguably is not as good as NY or SoCal or KY.
I think he proved that wrong today.
