Pedigree Query

Just got back from the Fasiz-Tipton sale...

My favorite was hip #416 Bay colt by Street Cry. Had excellent bone, nicely muscled, good balance.

#2 favorite hip #430 filly by Pulpit. She was on stilts...16+, good muscle and balance...wait on her a little...WOW

Should have let us know you were going We could have met up!

so did you end up buying that street cry 416? saw it only went for 12K, wondering what was wrong with him...
overall, it appeared to be a bloodbath for quite a few of the breeders.
it was also interesting that coolmore bought none and darley only bought one.

Chapel Royals sold well overall

I am kind of a spur of the moment person...was planning to go, but I had horse issues at home with getting a two yr. old out to ILL., a foal that was running a fever, a mare to get to Pa. A horse at the track that we haven't been able to get in a race for his condition etc. So, I told my wife that we were off to the sale just to get away.

Any observations on the offspring of the following big-name first crop sires: Medaglia D'Oro, Speightstown and Strong Hope.

I think the female family was too weak...watch out for him to be a great pinhook at a two year old in training sale. No, I didn't buy him...too many of my own that need to put some $$ in my pocket instead of everyone except me. I really like to see what yearlings look like, take some pictures, and compare body types to my own horses. Plus I learn something everytime I get a chance to talk to horsemen.

I used the time to go see a man about breaking a two yr. old, and got to go to Buckpond to see a Morluc yearling since I have a baby of his from one of my mares. They always make me feel that I am important to them as a small breeder.

Hip #34 Sold for $200K, saw her in the ring,(Medaglia); the very next Hip 35 was a Speightstown ($170K Not Sold)...The Medaglia sold good I thought, but I am not a commercial breeder. Speightstown's didn't sell like I thought, but you would have to look at female families and the horses that were at the sale. I didn't see all of them at the barns when they were showing. The Lion Heart yrlgs. were getting a lot of attention and the prices showed. They had families and were all nicely constructed. I did get to look at all of those back at the barns. The Storm Cat stallions, I looked at most of those yrlgs. People were all over the Lion Hearts.
