Master Command Euthanized

Postby foxtale » Tue Apr 13, 2010 1:45 pm

What a shame! A very nice horse, with some gorgeous foals on the ground. I would have liked to see him in the future! I hate hearing things like this.

A friend of mine has a Master Command colt and he is one good looking fella!

Wow. Just terrible news.

What do folks think this will do his sales prices?

Nothing. If they are nice, they will sell. If they arent, they wont.

Actually, this situation reminds me a LOT of Chester House - and his foals went dirt cheap after he died, since he was unproven and gone. So I believe this could push the sales prices of his foals down into the dump.

That is terrible news :( A client has a very nice colt at the farm, the foal is the only Master Command I have seen.

RIP Master Command :(
