I haven't been watching too closedly but some decent prices coming out of the sale. Bernardini so far has had one go for $700K (out of Silvery Swan) and another for $1.3M (out of Storm Beauty).

As Blood-Horse stated, numbers were up across the board due to the "Sheik Mo Stimulus Package":
The gross revenue for the 76 horses that sold was $25,470,000, which was a whopping 40.3% increase from the opening session a year ago. The average price grew 10.7% to $335,132, and the median price increased 6.4% to $250,000. http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...-saratoga-sale

To my surprise I realize I've never actually been able to watch a session start to finish, I usually catch just a bit because I'm not able to be home to see the whole thing on my computer. How long do they go?

So far this has been pretty fun to watch. Just saw that they're re-offering the Kingmambo - Imperial Beauty filly that went for big bucks. Was she the one somebody dropped $1M on and freaked everybody else out so they stopped bidding? The guy didn't have credit and I believe the implication was he was imbibing spirits.
 She was nice and will be back in place of Hip #202. I hope I got the filly in question right, but they throw around numbers so fast I'm not positive. We shall see.Last edited by Merlinsky : 08-11-2009 at 08:11 PM.

16 of 61 not sold. Still a high-end sale. Still a sale of "have's" and "have not's" -- if you have the right product it will sell and sell well. Maybe not like a few years ago, but it will still sell well. If you don't, you could be very dissappointed.
