We'll see more of the same -- RNA's, buy-outs, the Sheiks and Coolmore and sellers with distorted expectations.

So far from what I can tell, just from the bidding, there have been numerous RNA's.

Very simple.

Haves and have nots -- soft market, less buyers, but compounded by or irrelevant due to the unrealistic expectations of sellers.

I believe Stardom Bound went for $5.7 million - not sure, but IMO I'm sure she went to Godolphin. Who else could afford that # in this day and age?

That stinks - she'll be shipped to Dubai, pointed for the Dubai Oaks, miss the the KY Oaks and run all of about 4 or 5 times (if that) next year. I have no doubt that the Sheikh treats his horses wonderfully, but IMO, we are not going to see this filly's full potential come out. This has been a lousy day all around - even Da Bears looked like garbage.

Believe they said congrats Tom not John so don't think Sheik Mo got her. Even if he did he would have kept her here.

You can revise the plan. She went to IEAH..

This sale is different than most and it is going as it usually does. Many of the mares in here already have a lot of value and people are looking to see if someone else has a higher opinion of their horse than they do. They take some weanlings from the new sires and weanlings are a really tough market.
