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.
Any idea when you will get around to analyzing the action of the Derby contenders this year vs. their two year old in training works?

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.

They will often RNA if the x-rays in the repository show something significant. Quite a few horses RNA at most sales.

Oversimplification should not be confused with either knowledge or cleverness. But hey, thanks for trying, and I doubt you need to be asked to keep playing the game.

in last year's sale...301 horses were cataloged, only 209 made it to the auction block, of those 40% RNA'd. The year before 32% RNA'd. 2YO sales have so many outs before the sale even begins that I fail to see their appeal.

Well, then answer the question with a more appropriate response instead of telling me how wrong that I am.

thanks...that number of RNA to Hip #'s didn't include the outs...there were 34 of those

Diarrhea of the mouth does not imply knowledge, only a need to babble, and if I feel I have something to add on an issue, that isn't self-evident and/or obvious, I will do so.

the one horse that I was interested in was an out....he was a VERY nice yearling by Mr. Greeley.

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

You don't buy horses to make money you buy race horses because you have made money

Best (and most accurate) line I've heard all day...

Even if the reserve is lowered, some still RNA because of the x-rays. I'm only speaking for the two-year-old sales.

I can be on target when necessary.. This young lady thinks that she can read tea leaves or predict a dice roll.. People who have real knowledge pull their fn hair out trying to figure out why a Happy Ticket(La) can run faster then Phipps filly. But she all of a sudden can spot a winner from 1 furlong work. whatever.

Honestly DrugS is the only person I have come across that does the due diligence to give a morse of credence to and he is in love with a sox. So how smart can he really be.
