KEE Nov Sale
 

maybe you guys are talking about this is another part of the forum and I just missed it, but anyway....

Ive been recording HRTV's coverage of the sale and watching it at night.
some really big prices.
saw Madcap go through for 6M yesterday. in foal to Pulpit I think they said.
Sharp Lisa and Vacare were sold for big numbers also.


anyone have any thoughts?
good sign for the health of the industry.

How much did Sharp Lisa go for? Did Shining Energy sell yet? If so, for how much?

sharp lisa 3.4
summerly 3.3

not sure shining energy has gone through yet.
let me check.

Shining Energy for 1.2M at Fasig Tipton.
I have not seen any of the Fasig Tipton on tv(dont even know if its televised), but Ive watched a lot of hours of KEE.


wll post anything I find on this thread.
btw,
just to clarify,
Summerly, Shining Energy and Sharp Lisa were sold at Fasig Tipton.
Madcap was at KEE.
other KEE sales were Madcap's dam Sassy Pants for 4.5, Elusive Diva for 1.6,Half Ours for 6, and Moscow Burning for 1.5

Thanks Repent. I'm surprised that Shinging Energy only went for $1.2 million. She is a grade I winner and is by Rahy. I figured she'd go for about $2 million.

ok,
I have not seen F-Tipton's so this is just coming from their website.

I'm surprised that Andujar went for $2.5 million. I had no idea she was worth so much. She's not a grade I winner. She did win a grade II and she's by Quiet American. I figured she was only worth $1 million. I guess there's some strength on her dam side. Reddam ended up doing great with her with this sale. He only had her for 3 races. He bought her privately for $700,000 off a huge allowance win. He brought her back in a grade II and she won it. Then she ran 2 more times and bowed a tendon and she was done. I figured he'd be lucky to make a small profit on her after she bowed. I had no idea that he could get $2.5 million for her.

yeah,
guess its largely about pedigree at that venue.

there were tons of broodmare prospects that sold for far more than her that I did not post.
i just posted her sale price b/c she was such a nice racemare.

there were probably some other nice racehorses without much pedigree that sold at Fasig Tipton that I missed.
I just skimmed over the results and posted the higher prices and the notable runners like Bear Fan and La Reason.


Repent

yeah,
same here.

I really did like her as a racehorse, but I remember back at the end of 2004 that really good racehorses like Elloluv and Dublino sold for less(both sold for less than 2 from what I remember).

maybe it was the dam side that brought Andujar's price up.
seeme like Reddam has done everything right lately.



Repent

Richi, they gonna retire her?

She looked fantastic. I thought they'd even go higher than that, but the sheikhs weren't in town. I bid 500k (the first bid) just for kicks (i don't have that kind of money, obviously.)

She looked fantastic as well, I loved this one on-track. However, her family isn't yet known as "producers" so i think that limits her megabucks potential until she drops a couple runners.

The numbers are staggering either way...

I do that and no one else would bid....then I would be looking around begging for the remaining $499, 995:o

HAHAHA! if i could get Madcap for $500k I'd find a way. Sell my house, borrow the rest from loan sharks, whatever.

On a funnier note, I almost accidentally bid $1,000,000 on the next hip (the dam of the Green Monkey), i scratched my nose and he thought that was a bid and i said "noooooooooo"! didn't matter, was an RNA at that price anyways.

LOL....just a minor scratch of the nose is all it takes...too funny.

Quiet American mares are being held in high regard. Unraced and unaccomplished QA mares are going for a few hundred grand... so a G2 winner from an amazing family is going to bring some major bids. She's from the family of Real Quiet, Majestic Prince, Crowned Prince, TV Commercial... etc. Strong, strong family.

Yeah...that is what I was getting ready to say too:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Half Ours was the one I was interested in seeing go through the ring. There was a lot of hype around this colt as a young 2yo and he's got a family that has been real active lately and been patronized well at the sales. He ended up going through for 6.1 million to Aaron Jones. The prce is deceptive though since Mr. Jones co-owned the horse while he was racing and was truly buying out his partner. Half Ours will remain in training.

Is Half Ours in training right now? Last I saw he was turned out.

This is a direct quote from the article link above...

Jones, who owned and raced Half Ours, a son of Unbridled's Song in partnership with Barry Schwartz, bought out his partner to take total control of the gray or roan 3-year-old colt. Half Ours will remain in training with Todd Pletcher.

Racing for Jones and Schwartz, Half Ours, who has two wins from two career starts, including a win in last year's Three Chimneys Juvenile Stakes, suffered a fracture in his right hind ankle which required pins to be inserted. Jones said the colt has begun working again.
