I didnt realize she had partners. I guess they were the underbidders? Kind of skews results when you have the sales working as a jury vs. being a market. This is a very tough sale to gauge much?

“I owned a little piece of her and my daughters owned bigger pieces,” Groves said. “I thought she was worth $1 million, and they didn’t think so. I didn’t want to sell her, so I’m afraid I bought her. That’s probably a dumb thing to do, but I’m 82 going on 83, I’m still here, and how many more fillies like her am I going to hope to get to the races? I can’t ride cutting horses anymore, and can’t touch a horse and can’t go inside the sale pavilion because I’m allergic and it gives me asthma, but I can watch the races.”

With Love,

Mom
