You have to love some of these quips about these yearlings:
Hip 43, bay colt by Tapit—Dress Rehearsal, by Galileo
"He's an absolute walking machine. He's bigger than a lot of the Tapits that I've seen." — Kerry Cauthen of consignor Four Star Sales, agent, on the son of grade III winner Dress Rehearsal.
I hope he can walk a mile in 1:33
Hip 16, bay filly by Tapit —Bending Strings, by American Chance
"She has settled in great. She is getting out a lot and is out of the stall all day. Tapit is such a hot sire right now and she is a homebred and the fourth foal out of the mare We raced her dam who made around $800,000 in earnings.
So you are offing her filly?
Hip 27, dark bay or brown colt by Arch —Century Park, by General Meeting
"He's a very nice colt. Arch is one of these stallions that's having success all over the world. So you feel like you have a really wide audience to sell him to. Anywhere they run races, Arch is winning them. This horse reminds me a lot of Blame (by Arch), dark bay, medium size, but just great balance. He looks like racehorse."
Good news the colt looks just like Arch's best ever...
"A perfect horse is a 7; a 6+, you've usually got one or two of those in a sale; if they're a 6 they make it to Saratoga; a 5+ is a select yearling with maybe a few minor issues, and a 5 is just a horse. I've been doing this since 1982, and this is the first 7 I ever had. So physically, she's pretty special." — John Stuart of consignor Bluegrass Thoroughbred Services, agent, referencing a Fasig-Tipton grading system
Steve maybe you could call Bo Derek and have a perfect 10 take a picture with a perfect 7?
This stuff kills me
