Ain't that the truth.

If Mistergee is looking for encouragement....the dam of hip #479 sold for just $5,200 at a 2yo in training sale....and she went on to win 14 races over a span of four years of racing, and banked over $186K.

She's by the same sire as Afleet Alex, who's one of the few duel Classic winners to come out of a 2yo sale.

She was also quick enough to work a furlong in 10 1/5...with the aid of blinkers.

If you're looking for discouragement.....chances are you'll probably lose money with her...just the nature of the game.

Well....at the least, it means the horse isn't a slowpoke.

I will say though, I've found that horses who work very fast 1/4 miles without blinkers...are often much more likely to reproduce their good sales preview in a racing situation...than a horse who works very fast going an 1/8th mile with blinkers.

In the past, if a horse is capable of previewing a 1/4 mile in under 21 seconds, they've proven to be almost locks of going on to be fleet footed Graded Stakes winners. Time means something....but it surely doesn't mean everything.

To be completely honest with you, this sale is somewhat of a get-out sale for the pinhookers... a lot of these horses had to either overcome injury that forced them to be sold this late or they were too small to sell earlier and now they have to unload them. It's not a very good sale.

true, i bought 2 last yr., one has not run yet but will maybe next month at crc, the other is running cheap at ct but actually been paying his way

A Distorted Humor colt (hip #511) went for 260k today, but should have gone for a lot more at an earlier sale. His dam is a half to Anees. He supposedly fractured a back leg breezing over the winter and that's why he was at this sale...

I did see a few that I really liked, but I have no clue on their background and why they were entered at this sale. Supposedly, quite a few of them had throat problems, etc.
