Hip #120 is the horse that many expect to be the sales-topper. Some people are saying that horse will go for a few million dollars. If so, that will be the highest priced 2 year old in the last few years. The horse didn't even work that fast (:10 2/5) but he is a very pretty mover and he had a really strong gallop out. I heard he galloped out 3 furlongs in :34. By the way, the track this week is more than a 1/5th of a second slower (for a 1/8th of a mile work) than what we usually see at these sales. Last year when this sale was at Adena Springs, there were 3 horses that worked :9 4/5 and about 30 horses that worked :10. This year not a single horse worked :9 4/5. Only one horse worked :10. There were only 12 horses that worked :10 1/5. So it was easier to wok :10 last year than it was to work :10 1/5 this year.

Just bought a small slice of HIP22 with my partner.

She's a Stephen Got Even. Second dam popped Macho Uno and Awesome Again. Will run her at PID, or Woodbine as she is a Canadian-bred and she would be eligible for MSW80k races up there.

First 2YO for Hosehead Racing!

Cheers,

Otis

Thanks, Dunbar!

We also purchased another 2yo ON Adena-bred HIP118, who we are really excited about. Sire is Street Boss (Street Cry IRE). Dam is Stakes running sprinter Velvet Moss (Shamardal).

Street Moss???

My family is in Buffalo, so they will hopefully be able to see these horses run at Woodbine or PID. Gives me another reason to go home for a visit.

Cheers,

If you race at PID you can hang out with calzone Lord, who is secretly envious of you!

[Easy Goer Otis]

Excellent! Would like the chance to buy him a beer.

Trainer will likely be Nick Caruso at PID.

I liked this filly. You did well to get her for 35k. If she had breezed she likely would have brought double

'Bama: Shamma lamma ding dong!

Cannon Shell: Thanks for the comment. Really glad to hear your positive opinion of this filly! Now we let Nick go to work. And wait. And hope.

Cheers!

If there wasn't a deluge of rain on Saturday we might have seen no one break 11. Track has been oddly deep at GP though after the rain storm it has tightened back up
