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.

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...

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

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.

Sightseek 10-18-2006 09:26 AM

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.
