Wow... that is a bargain, but if you look at the mare's lineage, is it all that impressive? Great great grandsire is northern dancer, but the last 2 generations I'm a little unfamiliar with (on the dam's side).

I'm guessing,PMAY,but was he bought by Roopishwar Rampadarrat?HE HE!!!

Was in the wrong sale. Would have brought a lot more in Lousiana, where much of the family's black-type comes from. Eskimo and Premiership were adequate sires in their markets, not what one normally sees in KY.

Oh Roopy? Does he still manage to win at a 5% clip goin up against the Robertsons and Ness? He's my loveable underdog.

I did just realize something, isn't Mr Greeley god a stud fee of at least 10,000? I think it might even be 30k? Then yeah, I'd say the breeders lost their ass on that one.

Mr Greeley is currently standing for $75k. That horse must have had 3 legs or one leg skrewed on upside down.

Frost was bought by little known NY trainer, Finger Lakes, Linda Dixon. Curious there was no reserve.

Holy **** 75K! Wow!
If that horse had only 3 legs and pegleg for a 4th, at only $1,500 I'd buy it too. The risk/reward is so low there. I'm actually cheering for this horse to be a monster, just to hear how it'll be rouncing the sheik's and the Coolmore's million dollar babies.

Coolmore and Godolphin will have to start shipping to the lakes for that to happen, but I agree, he might be the kind of horse to pull for.

Mr. G's fee was $35K at the time of cover.

The risk is in paying training bills for a horse that noone was willing to bid on (with one exception)

How freaking great would that be??? Kinda like Jambalaya winning the Million, after being bought for $1,500. Thats a nice little tidy profit for ya.
