I'm sorry you guys didn't get down. $15.20 was a nice price on the win.
Murray Smith is going to make out fine on the deal. I'm sure she was all bummed out when the horse pulled up lame and had to be withdrawn from the sale. But it didn't end up hurting her at all. She had to wait for 10 months but now she'll probably be able to sell the horse for $500,000 or so. That's about what she was going to get last March. Murray has gotten really lucky with these types of deals. She wanted at least $250,000 for Wild Fit at the Barrett's sale but the high bid was only $225,000. Murray decided to keep the horse for a race or two and then sell the horse. She ended up getting $3 million for her. She's lucky that nobody would pay $250,000 for the horse at the sale.
