Yuck, saying he must not've vetted well feels like a big understatement. Rachel Alexandra's full sister Samantha Nicole sold for $700,000 last year which sounds like a lot but she had a little sesamoiditis which put off some people. I think Barbara Banke would've gotten her whatever she went for, and there was Japanese interest despite her physical issues. Wonder how bad the Macoumba colt was for that to be the price? I mean, they had to know that was coming or there would've been a reserve. They were unloading this one. Hmm.

That Hollywood Story filly was ga-orgeous. Sometimes it's painful realizing, oh yeah, I'm not rich and I can't go buy myself a 7 figure yearling. This was one of those times.
