Default One Hot Wish to be sold
Jill Byrn just reported that One Hot Wish - the filly that broke the world record for 4.5 furlongs - will be sold Tuesday at Keeneland. She is consigned by Eaton Sales. Good luck to everyone.

If I was the owner, she couldn't have gotten to that sale fast enough, hell, I probably would have sat outside with her and said "SILENT BID for your WORLD RECORD HOLDER"

With 'on site' reporting from 'Riot', the world record holder goes for $300k..

I figured about 5-10X that, even with a nothing pedigree.
Shows how much I know about auctions!

Instead of hitting the gavel on the sale someone should have loudly flushed a toilet.

So what is the deal with the trainer here? Is he the type that throws out win early types that run huge and then disappear or do his horses just run huge for him and then fizzle out if they go to someone else? If it is the former then couldn't that be a good purchase if you kept the horse with the same trainer? She'd have to be one of the favorites for the G3 on May 3rd which would make her valuable as a broodmare.

Assuming she is sound you'd figure whoever bought her will point to that 2 year old Stake at Churchill Derby week.

It only took Half Ours a year and a half to recover That same year a filly was 2nd...I don't think I've ever seen her entered in a race since. Pro Pink was 2nd last year and she has at least made it to the races a few times. Maybe this year a filly will win?

probably a dangerous assumption at this point...
I think you mean the three chimney's juvenille? Or was it re-named?

The ill fated Gallant Secret was 2nd in 2004 (she was pulled up in the Deleware Oaks). The filly, Five Star Holding, was the one who was 2nd behind Half Ours.

The horse is a mess physically. She's extremely crooked. That's why she didn't go for more money.

Funny how some stumble and have trouble walking, but they can run. Go figure.

Rupert, sometimes you must feel like it's shouting into the wind. Anyway, thanks for the insight.
