A lot. Crazy money for a gelding.

The son of Union Rags has a new home, sold privately for an undisclosed six-figure sum to a group that will enlist Mark Casse as his trainer as part of his Florida contingent.

Six figures? That’s Ted Danson money.

I wonder what his issue was that turned everyone off at both the yearling sale and the 2 year old sale. He went really cheap at both sales. He actually had a good workout at the 2 year old sale and he still only sold for around $11,000. That is really cheap for a Union Rags with a good work. Horses like that usually go for at least $200,000 or higher. Some of those Union rags will even sell for $900,000 at the 2 year old sales. Maybe he is just small. He looked on the small side on the video. But that can be misleading sometimes. I have seen horses who appeared small on the video but who were actually not small.

Not sure if this horse needs time off or a cutback or a drop in class or what.
