5 hips tied for lowest bid of $10k each. Each was an RNA.
Dead on. Like I said, when I go to the 2yo sales and I see horse after horse selling for $20k to $50k (from $10k and $20k stallions), it just makes you sit back and wonder. Haven't the sellers learned anything yet? Just look at what it takes to get a horse from yearling to the starting gate, or from yearling to the 2yo sale.
