Gotta love the stallions auctions...but so many choices!

Postby bridlewise » Fri Dec 05, 2008 10:36 pm

As I am bored on a snowy Friday in Fargo and I see that the North Dakota TB Assn has all the Buck Pond stallions going cheap, cheap, cheap right now on their online season auction, I must ask everyone out there: Of Buck Pond's studs (see here: http://buckpond.com/ ), who would you breed the following mares to:

Sweep Honor (Highest Honor x Sweep On by Sharpen Up)
American Challenge (You and I x Tracy V by Valid Appeal)

Might as well think about it...eh?

Thanks ahead of time for any thoughts out there!

I would definitely say you should look at Bull Market for American Challenge (not knowing anything about her except she's out of You and I). Currently he's sitting at $225 with less than 3 days to go. I also don't know anything about your mare, Sweep Honor, but I do know that Seattle Fitz and Lost Soldier are both worth more than their current $500 bids! Good luck and I hope you get a couple good ones at good prices!

Bridlewise-did you get any of the buck pond seasons from the North Dakota auction? I wonder what type of price they went for? I'm sure someone got great deals. I went to the Iowa Stallion Season auction that night and it mirrored every other horse auction held this year....lots of no sales!
