Shows how much I know about auctions!

Assuming she is sound you'd figure whoever bought her will point to that 2 year old Stake at Churchill Derby week.

It only took Half Ours a year and a half to recover

That same year a filly was 2nd...I don't think I've ever seen her entered in a race since. Pro Pink was 2nd last year and she has at least made it to the races a few times. Maybe this year a filly will win?

probably a dangerous assumption at this point...
I think you mean the three chimney's juvenille? Or was it re-named?

I think it was renamed last year when they moved it from the Derby undercard to the Thursday prior, but that is the one.

I thought that it might have been renamed...but I couldn't remember, thanks.

The only horse I can remember in the last several years to run in one of the 4.5F races at KEE then actually turn out to be something as an elder was Limehouse.

1 in about 1000 is not a very good track record. Good luck to them...

Did any of these winners break their maidens previously at KEE?

Lunarpal did.

As did Yes It's True, and previously mentioned Favorite Trick and More Than Ready.

I think champion 2yo Answer Lively and Hollywood Futurity winner Tactical Cat ran against each other in the same race, in one of those 4.5f KEE races in '98.

I think City Zip might have come out of one of those races as well....but I'm not totally sure about that. There've been a few OK ones.

OK lets put you guys and gals to the test there has been a horse that I saw run ( Iam 44 years old) that broke its maiden at Keeneland going 4.5F then went on to win a triple Crown Race Can you name Him???????

Earlier than I was thinking of in the "last few years" but both are certainly qualified as good at 3 and beyond. Still the "current" era of racing.

I think they actually canceled the Three Chimney Juvenile and moved the G3 Kentucky Breeders' Cup Stakes to its place on the calendar.

According to bloodhorse, the horse didn't meet her reserve and was bought back (will still be trained by Ward). See quote below.

Van Meter indicated the filly would remain with trainer with Wesley Ward, who co-owns the filly with Robert Tanklage. "She's going to get some time off and I think we will see her again at Del Mar," he said

$300K can actually be spent much worse in this game.

I believe Angel Island and Appealing Zophie were jointly the two fastest fillies to win going 4.5 at KEE last year....

One of them would become a Grade 1 winner, the other hasn't raced since.

That filly will really have her hands full with the freaky Sea of Pleasure on Derby week---if the new owners intend to run there.

Badge of Silver was still running well in Grade 1 races at age 6 after winning a 4.5 furlong race at KEE by a pole.

He, however, came out of the race with a fractured leg, and would fracture it again later on in his career.

not that it's really relevant but he also had really crappy feet that he got from his mother Silveroo...and a tender footed horse is often more likely to hurt itself somewhere else...

The ill fated Gallant Secret was 2nd in 2004 (she was pulled up in the Deleware Oaks). The filly, Five Star Holding, was the one who was 2nd behind Half Ours.

But at least Gallant Secret went on to dance lots of dances between that and her last race. She had a pretty good run.
