Recently auctioned Irish white TB

For those interested in a recently auctioned Irish white Thoroughbred:

Alas, they gelded him due to his pedigree ("Hurdles") I suppose.

Since he was foaled, I was hoping for an exception to this practice --- but to no avail! :cry:

All the Best,

I wonder what he went for? I'm surprised they gelded him, he's actually one of the better looking whites! But I agree now is the time to start being more selective on the "colored" TBs and start aiming for higher quality or performance qualifications.
