i have no doubt that she's going to bring in lots of money, but will it be enough to meet the reserve he chooses? that was what i was thinking, that perhaps nobody out there will pay what he wants for her. he didn't sell her for an offer of $500,000 after her maiden win, so what will he want for her now?

Well he would have taken 600 I suspect.
So maybe it won't be as high as you think.

well you know more than i do about this, perhaps part of it is wishful thinking on my part that she will stay in chicago with block -- i just assumed that he would expect a LOT of cash for her all things considered.

on a sidenote: what makes you say that you suspect that he would have taken 600? is that just an arbitrary thought on your part?

strictly arbitrary.
