Second, I don't need a lecture on how much to save for this venture, I had done the math prior to the investment, and I was trying to put some color on how much it REALLY costs. Finally, if you could tell SOOOOOOO much about a 2YO in training, why did the most expensive 2YO in training purchase JUST RETIRE AS A TRULY TERRIBLE MAIDEN!!!!!



Another solid entry for P.O.T.Y... thank you Andy for some sanity with this

There are quite a few horses in this price range from OBS April sales that went on to be good racehorses, and at least earned back their purchase price or better.

I didn't think that the Green Monkey's workout was great. I couldn't understand the hype. He crossfired all the way down the stretch in his workout. Big no-no.

Pais 6-5

Pillow 2-1
Phil 3-1
GBBob 5-1

Much to my dismay, I got to the end of the thread and this little gem was left untouched.

You can look up a post from last year about the best first crop sires at the sales last year before there babies started racing if you think that I am redboarding.

I know most of the posts about kentuckyrosesinmay were written by kentuckyrosesinmay, and that is pretty annoying, but I for one would appreciate it if everyone (especially kentuckyrosesinmay) would stop writing about kentuckyrosesinmay.

any idea what the reserve was?

Does the number seem unusually high? At one point in the 50's (Hip #'s) 6 of 7 RNA'd. 36 out of 119 to this point.

Actually you're very wrong, if the x-rays show something significant then the reserve will be much LOWER than what it hypothetically should be based on the breeding (and work, in the case of a 2YO sale).

But I didn't need to tell you that, you already knew it.

Another person in this thread and myself own a couple two year olds we bought as yearlings, trained by yet another person in this thread. They were very modest prices, relative to what you COULD spend at the KEE Sept sales (about $20k each). By the time they hit the track, we will be $80k deep on these guys, which means even with statebred incentives (which, of course, was part of the "where do you spend" GBBob is referring to) we have maybe a 15% chance of recouping our investment.



Exactly


Now where do I sign :o
