It would be very unlikely to find a horse that can run at that sale in that price range. There are plenty of other sales where you could easily find a decent horse in that price range. I've seen plenty of decent horses bought in that price range at the Ocala March Sale, the Ocala April Sale, and the FT Timonium May Sale in Maryland.

Richi,
Thanks. Chuck was refering to a mixed stock sale with broodmare prospects and dispersals in it.. Not the 'big' sale. But I'll let him clarify... I know that Timonium sale is good as Trombetta picks them out of there at bargain prices with alacrity.
