Respectfully disagree take the 1st book out of the Keeneland yearling sale and thats 4,000 take another 1000 in the OBS August sale then take 1200 in the OBS April Sale thats a whole lots of of middle of the road horses and bottom of the barrell types that get hot housed just like the top tier ones and that does not even begin to count all the fasig tipton sales like Oct yearling which had 1300 this year and all there 2 year old sales with the cream of the crop being in Miami.
