Wow, Hip No. 30 sure looks like a dandy! (Totally unbiased opinion of his owner).

shameless self promotion Mike, but Good luck

Could you double-check the link? I clicked on the catalog & got a URL not found message.

Thanks.

Try the link again...I had the same problem but when I refreshed it came right up....there are some interesting mares in the sale.

Good luck with #30 Mike!

Yes indeed, I hope yours comes up a winner in the ring! I had a Seattle Fitz colt last winter, big brute. They have not done well in the sales in KY, yet trainers I have met just love them.

Madelyn, Actually, the market perception on Seattle Fitz seems to be changing. At Fasig-Tipton July, he had yearlings sell for $155,000, $52,000 (a full brother to my colt!!!), and $30,000. Hopefully that trend will continue when Fitz has a few more yearlings selling at Keeneland Sept a little later in the book. Fingers crossed!

Well, my colt's 3-year-old half-sister broke her maiden Friday night in special weight company at the Meadowlands...just in time to bring her earnings up to $52,900! Not bad after just 6 starts! Hopefully this will make buyers take a closer look at her baby brother. Fingers and toes crossed as Sunday approaches. Any of you going to be there?

If only I could sense that its not going to be as cold as last year. It was miserably cold...and the tent didn't help. Will likely end up there though. Some interesting offerings to look through....especially on the weaner side of things. The mares in the sale look pretty spotty.

I may go but it depends on the weather. Dont really like the idea of driving all that way if its raining but Hip#55 is a 1/2 to a mare in my barn so I would like to watch if nothing else.

We're thinking about it. The weather will definetly help us with the decision as we have to drive about 7 or 8 hrs to get there.

Good Luck!

i know that I won't get a lot of support on this choice, but i love Hip 188. Yup, she isn't a great producer, but she's in foal to a nice horse and has young stock coming up. Wonder what she'll bring?

She was the mare I picked out as well. I'm always looking for a Blushing Groom mare to cross with Legal Jousting. And you can't really fault her female family .

More than I'd get for mine, I'm sure. Not that I'm going to NY tomorrow... BUT if I were, I'd want Hip No. 273. She's older and barren, but I want a Deputy Minister daughter for my boy BADLY. If anyone decides to buy her, then wants to breed to an Indiana sire, I'll give you a free breeding!

If you miss out on #188, I have a lovely Nashwan mare I would consider selling..

Bargainblueblood or anyone --

Have you considered a broodmare-favored sale in NY/PA in the really late November to February time frame?

We've been told by consignors that's the time frame when broodmares bring the best money -- I know from sad experience that the PA Sept. sale is WAY too early.

I'd love to breed to a NY sire & ell at a PA/NY sale in the above time frame.

Has anyone considered it? I asked the question of the guy who currently runs the PA sale & he wasn't interested . . . maybe NY would take up the slack?
