Not sure when she sold as a yearling but the market (globally) tanked after September and everything dropped. Looking at her work she looks like she hits the ground hard and those types can be hard to keep sound. She may also have had some othr physical issues (poor radiographs/bad scope) that kept her price down.
Obviously someone knew something. A few weeks ago (maybe a month) at Calder there was a 2yo race with a Ward filly in it. Another filly opened at about ven money which shocked me. She was 8-1 on the ML off average works, modest conections/breeding. Ward's filly took late money and went off favored (maybe 8/5) but that one that opened at even ran by Ward at the 1/8 pole and opened up. She was 4-1. Someone knew something.
