don't all breeders have that as their plan? i just wonder how workable that really is...you can't pay investors back with hope.

No Eric it is too high for any realistic expectation of monetary success. Who would buy her over this level? There is no market over that price. Maybe they are marking her up and making a profit on that end but there is virtually no chance that she can be worth more than this unless she does something unbelievable like wiining the Triple Crown or going 7 for 7 winning the oaks Alabama and Breeders Cup. Do you know how many multimillion dollar yearlings they will have to sell to just cover expenses, stud fees, etc? That's not even considering her purchase price. There are no players at 6 million or above except two who chose not to play now and surely arent that interested to play later at a higher price.

Of course. I was just saying that maybe to them it's easy. I have no idea.

lol
it better be!

Chuck, I hear you. Sure, I agree. And this is a business of self-expression . . . and boy, did we just see some self-expression! LOL.

Eric

well a horse I bought for 90k just sold for a million and a mare i passed up on buying for 8 or 9k just brought 205k. So my self expression is i want to kill myself in the quickest manner that I can.

get in line

just read that great hunter was scratched from the sale-he was supposed to be the first horse sold. what happened?

15 million ask and still going.

Eric

Shot from 1m to 14m in no time.

Sold at 14m

Eric

That was un friggin real to watch. started at 1 mil and in 5 secs they were up to 8 mil. Wow. That was kinda cool get to see a little history. I can't tell who the buyer is but evidentally there interviewinghim in the ring. I recognize his face but can't place the name.

Darn, I missed that bidding . What a mare !

Southern Equine bought her outright.

The price isnt as impressive since much of the purchase price goes back into their own pockets though Fasig did really well.

Why would someone spend 5.7 million on a racing prospect and send it to John Terranova, Betsy

Moreno, being that he already owned 70% of BTH, let it be well known that he was going to be very aggressive and had every intention of bringing this mare home. I don't know what kind of deal you can get on a mare like this but I would assume it would be very competitive. They had enough fire power in this sale. I don't know if they could have went elsewhere.

Eric

I'm still waiting for the inquiry from the Acorn to be overturned ( it was the most preposterous of non-DQs ever ) so that I can cash my $250 win bet on her at 6-1.

Robert Waxman could have used the $14 million I'm guessing.

You're right, but I was hoping because I don't like Dutrow. OH well - I think he'll do a good job with SB.

I'm curious, with Moreno already owning 70% of Better than Honour, and her going to 14 million, does he have to pay the whole 14 million, and then get a check back for 9.8 million or does he only have to pay 4.2 million for the other 30%?
