A nice winning FuPeg son, good looking and SP, sold at last KEENOV for 70K if I remember right. He had a nice page as well. I think the 150k listed here for a non-winner is pretty ambitious.

I believe it's also veryimportant when selling a horse of this caliber to mention right in his ad the largest pinhooker in America sold him at a loss....

after breeding about 2000 mares you have a chance at breaking even

If he was sold at Keeneland recently, it wasn't under that name.

I guess all you can say about the ad is that the seller is an optomist.

Non-winner out of a Prized mare with three foals of racing age, one unraced, one unplaced...the decimal point is probably at least one and probably two places too far to the right.

Well stated Kimberley Mine. It is astounding that because someone else paid too much for a horse as a yearling or two year old, that this becomes a selling point for stallion potential. Non winner, not sound-regardless of why.

Although a half sis to Silverbulletday, Rokeby Rosie has done nothing to establish herself.

I've seen several well bred million dollar plus yearlings who are unraced or unplaced, or even minor winners, sell as stallion prospects for less than $10,000.

Hopefully no one overpays this much for a longshot stallion prospect.

Heck even graded stakes winning well bred horses are kind of longshot's at stud (more fail or produce completely average results than succeed).

Unraced ones are extreme longshots and should be priced accordingly.

The son of FuPeg that I was referring to was hip 4556 at KEENOV. He had a better race record and a better family and a really nice physical - GSP. He went for 70K. I think that sets a nice comparison point for this offering.

Not too long ago there was a poster on this board asking about stallions for Ontario. She was looking, among others, at a stakes-winning son of Silver Deputy from the female family of Sky Classic, Regal Classic, and Smart Strike. Good sire AND known sire-producing female line and they wanted $40k for him.

If that's any benchmark, this horse should be in the $5-10k range. He's probably better off being gelded and sold as a riding horse.
