SALES ALERT: Chuck on "go"
 

Dee Tee Stables partners, and prospectives, should stay tuned here as Chuck is 'live' for our yearling acquisition going into Day 6 of the Keeneland Sales...

Will update the thread by about 9:30 this morning with Hip # targets that Chuck will bid on, but he has identified as many as 5-6 youngsters going under the gavel today that he believes could fall into our purchase budget range of $40,000-$50,000..

Yesterday, we came close to a buy of a Smoke Glacken, before the price soared through Chuck's 'top' of $55,000 to $80,000. Today, yearlings by Indian Charlie, Yonaguska, Volponi, Cherokee Run and Lemon Drop Kid are among those under consideration by Chuck...

Stay tuned as the February auction purchase of Sumwonlovesyou was an especially fun afternoon as many watched live as it happened, and today should be similarly exciting...

that smoke glacken brought $100K not 80K.

Exciting stuff!

Steve, we are on our way to TO for trade show may try to see the Woodbine Mile. Call me on my cell!!!! Merci a bientot:) :)

HIP 1752 was mention as a "cribber" ...what's that mean?

A cribber is a horse that chews on the wood rails in the stall and on the stall doors. From what I understand it leads to them swallowing a lot of air which leads to colic.

LDK filly goes for $80,000... Made a move on a Canadian Frontier and bidding exceeded $60,000.. Chuck passed..

Prices continuing to be 30-50% higher than targets through this early part of the 'middle market'...

The Yonaguska goes for $80,000, and Chuck wasn't interested past $40,000..

Day not appearing productive for our interests.. Chuck looking towards Monday now...

Patience is a virtue!!

Anyone know what Hip#s they will be picking up with tomorrow?
