He catalogs nicely. If he's a nice physical specimen he ought to do very well.

Good luck, Madelyn! I'm selling one broodmare prospect and I was hoping for a better catalog placement but oh well.
I hope your filly brings in some big money.

1433.

I knew she wasn't going to catalog great having won insignificant blacktype and having a very foreign female family to American buyers but it's a great German family and the Dubai boys recently bought a lot of mares from it.
She was also SUPER fast for me and the partners I had with her. You'd think she'd want more than a mile on the turf but she was best sprinting on the dirt.

What prompted the unique (mis)spelling of Revelation? Hopefully there will still be some European buyers when she goes through as that is probably where she would have the most appeal.

As an editor, it galls me to own a horse with such an error in spelling!
Her sire is doing very well in Australia, so perhaps that may have some appeal.
Her best distance was 4.5 furlongs and she adored mud.

Well it's a living.
After all our costs we net about $14K profit. She was a late April foal so "small" -- huge walk, no one even looked at her perfect scope or x-rays. But the Street Cry's just were not ringing any bells. The three book one SC's went for $80, 80 and 75K. So it was fortunate mine was a foal share.
I'll be around next weekend and the following week. I hope your group returns what you want.

Sorry to hear that Madelyn, I thought you were on a winner there. I think that just at the end of the season, Street Cry was eclipsed by Smart Strike. It might have been a different story if Cry and Catch me had run in the B.C. juvenile fillies and done well, and Street Sense had not faded as he did.
