my question is ,,why would the owners be autioning off midnite bysou?
some people say she mite fetch 4 million

my thinking is the horse is 4 years old,, she could be a mama for 12 to 16 years
im sure the owners are not hurting for money,
so why wouldnt they take the babies for the next 15 years and tsake there chances with a great moms babies?

thanks

Jeff Bloom is not some rich guy. He's a former jockey. Bloom Racing is a partnership that people invest in. I don't know how many partners there are in Midnight Bisou. But my guess is that there are probably at least 3-5 partners that own that filly, if not more. I'm sure many of them have no interest in the breeding business. Putting her in an auction is the fairest to make sure that they get fair market value.
