hip 85...i'm no expert either but everyone wants predictability. so it's possible that this being a colt may have made some buyers lower their ceiling for him. this family does produce a preponderance, but not exclusively, of filly black type, going back to 1900. good observation. if everything checks out i like this ped.

this bid was well above the average for a yearling Langfuhr but that's because of the exceptional mare. what her foals sell for i don't know.
