Thanks for the info. May I ask, can you estimate your per day costs on your farm for hay grain and straw per broodmare and per weanling or yearling. Thanks again.

The consignor across from us at the Midlantic yearling sale hadn't brought enough hay & had to pay something like $20/bale.

Gosh, with the bath we all took at the Midlantic sale, depending on how many horses she had, she could have paid more for hay than what her net proceeds were....

Merse, I'm pretty sure with the number of things the consignor forgot to bring - or bring enough of - for this particular sale & the number of this consignor's horses which didn't get bids, the consignor, like me, paid for the pleasure of spending 4 days in the mud!

If you were attending this sale, who would you want to just ``look'' at? Here are five that piqued my curiosity:

No. 13 -- The High Yield mare from the family of Seattle Slew.

No. 30 -- A Regal Classic mare who is a half-sister to two SWs.

No. 73 -- KBEquine's Langfuhr mare.

No. 92 -- A half-sister to Real Quiet.

No. 349 -- A Go for Gin filly from a great female line.

Hip #7 - Miss Amy R by Deputy Minister out of a Mr. Propector mare. She has already produced a stakes winner.

Thanks! But the Langfuhr mare's now an out because she had a snotty nose at about the deadline for sending her papers, etc., and we weren't sure it would clear up. It did, but she's an out & you can actually see a picture of her on the banner ads - both Turbulently & Rocquette, our Marquetry mare.

I also want to see:

No. 17 -- a 20 yo who produced G2 winner New York Hero & who is in foal for a full sibling to him.

No. 104 -- a multiple stakes-winning earner of almost $500k whose first couple foals are perhaps just slow starters.

#7 and #73 are "Outs"

Darn! Oh, well, guess I'll have to swap in one of Merse's Lear Fan mares:

No. 144 -- Lear Fan mare; third dam is champion Kiss Me Kate

Is there a Secretariat mare in the sale?

There's one, hip #19. She's 21 years old and not in foal.

Unreal. And a Kris S. Cool.

To blatently hype her, the foal Heart Spring (Hip #144) is carrying is an A+ TrueNick with Rock Slide if anyone is interested in that kind of thing.

There's also a French Deputy mare, No. 119, who's a half-sister to two SWs.

I'm guessing his progeny earnings, $87 million for 10 crops, are inflated by Japanese purses?

That can be a real problem in "comparing apples to apples, oranges to oranges,...". A few years ago, I compared Pleasant Tap to Go For Gin. Pleasant Tap's top earner at the time was Tap Dance City who won $9,586,479 in Japan. I recomputed the AEI as best I could without Tap Dance City and there was only about a point difference in AEIs between the two stallions. One big horse can really skew the results.

The more important stat for that mare are the 16 SWs--7 this year from 100 runners--as a broodmare sire.
