I was just suggesting that this particular filly was not the absolute best physical specimen at that sale, and if her sale was legit, it had as much to do with getting a filly from that family as anything else.[/QUOT

looks like a friend signed the ticket. |
No, Courtlandt Farm signed the ticket. I'm sure Will Farish has a lot of friends in the industry; are you implying that he has participated in something underhanded? Sheikh Hamdan was the underbidder. If he had signed the ticket, would you be saying that a "friend" did? I don't understand why it's so hard to believe that this filly would have gone for as high as she did. You may not like her, but more than one person did, and I rather doubt that every single person viewing this filly had nothing nice to say about her looks.
