Summerly-Who is going to buy her?
 

Who do you think will end up with this filly?

One of the major players of course.
Grade one winning mares these days go for insane prices. Moreso grade one winning mares on dirt, moreso grade one winning mares of races like the Kentucky Oaks!!!!!!
Shes gonna cost a bundle.

I don't get it....why would somebody fall for her? I mean, you're probably right, but she was a slow horse in a year of slow horses that won more or less by default.

Does actual ability ever come into play or is it only about the names of races horses win?

Just a wild guess but I will say it will be someone who wears a crescent moon pendant.

LMFAO!!! :D

Anyone want to take a guess on how much she sells for?

I am guessing 10 million. :)

I'll be more modest in her price and say...

$8 million.

Its both, but winning a grade one is never easy. Just ask all the owners who have thrown away millions and millions of bucks and don't have one.
Obviously the ones who are truly fast and well bred bring more cash, but any grade one winning mare is a lottery ticket these days.

mark me down @ 2mil...she hasn't done sh!t this year.

Bethani I'll take the OVER on that one!!!!!!! No way she brings less than 3 mill, no way.

okay you're on...of course if she does anything at all in the BC I would take it back.

Isn't speculating pointless without knowing whether Godolphin and Coolmore are interested in her? If they both want her it could turn into a pissing match and she goes for 10 figures. If they don't then someone will pick her up for the "bargain" price of $3 million.

actually it's kind of funny because the first number that popped in my head was 3.2 mill. but then i changed my mind...that is why I am a bad bettor

I think her breeding will sell. Summer Squall is a half to A.P. Indy and then add that to her 2 Native Dancers and there you go...

It sucks that she's got Mr. P so close up though. It's getting harder and harder to find stallions without Mr. P and we all know what happens when Mr. P is inbred too close...

She's running in the BC?????????

Somebody should call the ASPCA.

First number that popped into my head was 4.1 million. :D

Then I looked at her breeding and figured she'd get a bit more. Either way, she's too expensive for me! LOL

that's what I said when I read it...it's in the article...BC then ship to fasig the next morning to sell..

It's not easy because there aren't too many....especially restricted ones. That being said, they can call the Kentucky Oaks whatever they want, but she stole that one against a pretty suspect bunch, especially going long and two turns.

But, hey, they way money gets thrown around these days its hard to fathom what is reasonable anymore.

I say 1-2 million.

Does the winner of this guessing game get a prize?

Ship? It would be more consistent if she ran back to Lexington.

last I heard she was going to jog behind the truck...it's called 'cooling out'

She'd only make it in time if the sale was a month from the race. ;)
Lemons is also going through the ring.

It makes sense to sell these though I would guess it would be easier to just put Lemon's Forever in for a tag.

you're funny andy

You're right....at the auction SOMEBODY is bound to buy her....if you put her in for a tag she probably doesn't get taken.

don't forget at the auction they have the opportunity to artificially up the price...

That would never happen.

HAHA!!! :D

of course not.

I'll say $3.6M

Do we know if either Lemons or Summerly is currently in foal to someone??? I highly doubt it but you never know.

I saw Summerly goes for about 7mm and Lemons for about 2.7 mm.

nah...if they were in foal they would be a minimum of four months along...too far probably to be any good racing...

That is what I was thinking....thanks

Coolmore or Darley are 8-5 to wind up with her....she is a good broodmare prospect because she is a nice looking mare with a very solid family.....there is an appeal there for the big boys....

I'd say she sells open for $2-$2.5 million...just a guess based on the current market....maybe higher if the big boys really like her and go into a bidding war...

How did this happen? I log onto Derbytrail and find myself watching "The Price is Right." I'll have to check back in November and find out who had the closest bid without going over.

Now I see Sharp Lisa is being sold too. Any other distaffers going straight to auction right after they run their hearts out for their owners? I understand it is a business, but geez. Couldn't they keep them for a bit afterwards. What if one of these fillies wins?

"well folks, this here filly won yesterday and is up for sale today" Isn't that a happy thought?

I LOVE Sharp Lisa as a broodmare moreso than any others in the catalog....she has a tremendous pedigree to be a top producer...I LOVE Dixieland Band mares and her versatility makes her prime bloodstock IMO....

I tried to talk my dad into buying her and breeding her to A.P. Indy or Vindication and then reselling her next November in foal.....he laughed at me when I told him it would probably take $2-4 million to get her and maybe more if she runs well in the BC.....:D :D

I really like her too and she has been so versatile on the track.
