Couple of reasons why hip 81 might not have sold.
Smart Strike has a lifetime filly sale average of around 64K--@ 130 this filly was probably right where she should have been and the owners probably set the reserve too high. No parent ever thinks his or her child is anything less than the head of the class if you know what I mean. Often going into a sale an owner has unrealistic expectations of their own yearling's value.
a formula I heard once that is used to determine the profit point @ a sale is two times the stud fee plus 15K--the 15K is what it costs to maintain the mare for a year in foal.
The filly was somewhat light in pedigree--not a bad page, but nothing that jumps out. Folklore is there but the breeding is totally different so it's apples and oranges.
She may not have vetted well--buyers are very picky and can afford to be.
Smart Strike gets some good runners but not early or classic type runners.

this is all JMO take it @ face value only.
