Big Brown's half-sister by Touch Gold didn't sell. Again I don't claim to be a conformation expert but I wouldn't argue with their idea that she's not gonna be ready for much as a 2yo. I'd be afraid of her legs giving out--is that me just not being able to appreciate the lines of a filly or are her forelegs just not impressive in terms of bone?

pictures are pretty worthless in terms of evaluating conformation because of the angles. If anything she was weak in her hind end. I suppose that I would be a bit concerned if I was IEAH that BB's sister couldnt even draw much live money. Name another stallion who will be in his stud fee range whose sister wouldnt bring $500k regardless of what they looked like. I know Touch Gold isnt exactly a top sire but she wasnt that bad of a horse. Of course without BB in the pedigree she would be selling next weekend.
