She may not have scoped well. They scope these yearlings the same way they scope the 2 year olds at the 2 year old sales. If a horse has a really bad throat, that will knock their price way down.
Another thing that can hurt the sales prices are chips. A lot of these horses have chips. Just from running around out in the pasture as yearlings, they get chips. Depending on how bad the chip is, it can have a big impact on the sales price. You would be shocked at how amny of these yearlings have chips. I don't know the exact number but it's probably somewhere around 10-20%.
