yeah but he went in the ring as a raced 2YO in November.

what you guys makes sense, I just found it odd that they went to auction when one half of the partnership was willing to buy out the other.
I dont know a lot about that part of the business, which is why I asked.

I would guess that maybe they themslves had no idea what the fair market value was. I think they probably had a predetermined price as which they would stop if noone except them was bidding. They aren't stupid guys, to say the least.

Was he sold this November, or last? He was away a llllooonng time before today.

I was speaking of another way that partnerships work with foal shares, not of Half Ours. Isn't he 3 now?

There is always the chance too that someone else would have stepped in and paid a lot for him as well, look at Spring at Last for instance. You never know what could happen in the ring.

Very impressive. Did you get the nuances of his difficult trip?

Even in the fog he didn't look like six million bucks.

according to the article i read, both halves wanted the horse, but didn't want to remain in partnership. the losing partner was the immediate under-bidder on the horse.

shouldn't he change the name to neenerneener,he'sallminenow? mmm, nah, too many letters.

I think the underbidder was relieved.
