lots of good buys here

Heck yeah... wish I could watch. I'm at work and the video doesn't work at all here. :mad:

geesh, i'll tell ya, nobody is bidding up to 5 figures. ur lucky to see bids over $5k.

427 filly got $20k...a Desert Warrior with a nice Crimson Saint cross.

Damn, I could get my next hunter jumper for that amount of money! :eek:

429, filly by Gold Fever whose 4th dam is Raise You, $7k.

431, Vicar filly, no bid.
433, by Greatness, $30k and a looker.
435, $19k by Precise End o/o Double Doubleville, has winner written all over him.

429 out of a Diablo mare too... I like Diablo. It's hard to find mares by him since he stands in Japan.

interesting about DIablo, good catch...$20K for the Strategic Mission filly, hip 438

the Include is $30k, the Carson CIty hip 442 $16k, a bargain.

Geesh... that's a bargain. Must be something wrong... do you think? :confused:

you'd certainly think so...444 a Desrt Warrior filly, $1.5k.

pedigrees only go so far...you've got to be healthy and the paper to back you up, but this sale is full of bargains for the buyers and the breeders are taking it on the chin.

Well, for that price, I'd buy the horse for a sport horse career and leave them off of the track. Most of the Secretariat lined thoroughbreds make excellent jumpers. :D

451 is a solid Desert Warrior colt...$9k, a bargain.

Bargains indeed! Reminds me of last fall's NY bred sale. Yikes!

452 Aptitude filly, $1k...unreal
454, a Kafwain colt...Kafwain's have been going very well, this one $8k, a steal.

Unreal is right! Just like last fall...a "blood bath" for breeders.
Did you know that it costs just to be listed in the catalogue,($300), vetted, trucking to the sale, and the blood stock agent's cut?
Geesh, they would have been better off giving this one to their local 4-H club and taking a tax deduction. They lost money on that one. Just the stud fee and keep for the year...sad day for them.

no bid on the Captain Bodget.
no bid on Dream RUn filly,
460, $3k by Royal ANthem o/o mare that won over $500k
462, Say Florida Sandy $1.5k

what a bloodbath for the breeders.

No kidding, DTS... jumpers go for more than that. What's sad about it is that any one of these could end up the next "Showing Up." Showing Up was only a $60k purchase.

Black Tie Affair , no bid.

ummm Fasig Tipton needs to do some work to enhance the pool of buyers if they have this sale next year. these prices are way too low.
469, Western Expression, no bid
473 no bid, pathetic
476, $2.5k, Gold Case o/o stakes winning mare
477, Desrt Warrior filly, $4.7k
478, Kelly Kip o/o sp earner of over $200k, $20k
479, Exploit colt $1k
480, filly by Say Florida Sandy, sw dam earning over $144k, $5.2k

this is like a charity event for buyers, why breed when losing so much money, the breeders have to be asking themselves.

463 - Catienus went for 16.5 K
470- the AP Jet...only 8K
465--Black Tie Affair..that horse was way crooked...out

Will be interesting to see tomorrow's write up...those seats are empty.
