Default Godolphin buys Point Encounter

well thats my prediction. I say about 3 million will do it for a home bred from a not so big time outfit.

no, but that would be nice.....and I would sell him in a heartbeat.

That was the most impressive 2yo maiden win in socal this year. I like the runner up as well but that horse is built like a sprinter where the winner more like a router (and a pedigree as well).

Word had been out about this colt. Tried to get a Derby Book price yesterday in Las Vegas via Rich Eng, and he was already bet down to 30-1 at Wynn... YESTERDAY! Before his first start.

Funny. I was in Vegas from Christmas day until New Years Day. Was at Wynn on Sunday making a few future wagers, and saw him at 12-1 for the Derby!
I had never heard of him before (was out of the loop for a week or so), and couldn't believe he was only 12-1. Lowest odds of any horse on the sheet, including old fashioned, vineyard haven, etc...
Ridiculous.

was he ever in a sale and was a buy back or do they breed to race? Walsh seemed suprised with a PG colt with so much early speed.

Is there a cut off point before they don't have time to ship a horse to Dubai?
