OBS June 2008 review

[Calzone Lord]

I thought this would be a fun thing to look at.

The OBS June 2008 sale was the last sale that took place before the so-called 'great financial crisis of 2008' ... probably one of the dumbest times in history to buy a horse because the overvalued market started to fall apart right after this sale.

Here are the 20 most expensive horses who sold at this sale in order of most expensive downward.

The eventual owner took a bloodbath on 19 out of the top 20 horses.

These forms were taken during the 4yo season of each horse. The mighty Komodo sold for 20K at this sale and already had 3 wins and was claimed away at the time of these forms -- all despite being so unsound he couldn't train and getting a DNF in his 2nd start.


The auction price is located above the horses sire.
