The Friend's Lake Two Year Olds Look Pretty Good
I have seen at least 4 different Friend's Lake Two Year Olds that look like they can run. I don't know if any of them are stars but they definitely look like runners. I wasn't a huge fan of Friend's Lake as a racehorse but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far from his offspring.
I finally saw a nice Pleasantly Perfect Two Year Old. There is a PP filly at Barrett's who looks like she can run. She is the first decent PP that I've seen. |

Speaking of 16 million horses has anyone heard how "he who must remain nameless" is taking to being a man on the prowl?? |
What do the Smarty Jones babies look like? Anyone seen any? Are'nt they due to start this year?

They haven't been setting the track on fire at the 2yo sales.
And speaking of scorched earth - William Tecumseh Sherman was far too kind to those who commited treason if you ask me. |

He obviously was impressive in his preview and has moved forward the last six months. |
How is it so hard to figure out why a Friends Lake is selling for $450k? He was a GI winner by a GI winner out of a GI winner. Doesn't seem entirely unlikely to me.

Last month - he gets entered in a 2yo sale. He flashes an impressive physique and works a furlong in 10 seconds flat ... showing excellent raw speed for a horse bred to get a distance of ground. He sells for 450K. Had the same horse worked his furlong in 11 flat and not moved well in the process - he'd have most likely been A.) scratched from the sale. or B.) sold or RNA'd for about half of what he sold for as a yearling. |
I don't disagree with you in the least. I'm just saying, in the grand scheme of things, is it really so unbelievable that a Friends Lake would sell for $450k? I would suggest it is not.

Zayat stables bought a Friends Lake yearling for $600K at Keeneland September last year.
The $140K yearling turned $450K 2yo buy that is talked about in this thread was only the 6th most expensive Friend's Lake yearling of 64 offered at public auction. I agree with Rupert that his first crop are showing significantly more speed than what would be expected from them during these sales drills. |
