Both those fillies are tremendous broodmare prospects and barring anything atrocious in the physical department we dont know about, just became very good buys.

Appealing Kris hails from one of the most consistent families around, that of Judy Rae. Judy Rae is responsible for the whole Courtly Dee clan and she was also a half-sister to the granddam of Swaps among others. I should also note Appealing Kris was a very useful racemare and is now a stakes producer and being bred very well.

Forever Rainbows has been an interesting mare to watch from a racing perspective. She's a Deputy Minister half to Winning Colors which makes Miss Carmie her 2nd dam. She's also had two stakes-quality colts win tough allowances at major tracks, such as Saratoga, and I would imagine its only a matter of time before she gets that major stakes winner that can make her daughters REAL valuable.

I was disappointed in that Pulpit filly's price, but when you think about it, it's not a surprise. Winning Colors has been a bust as a broodmare and that family just hasn't had much, if any, success lately. The filly must not be very good looking, though, to bring that low a price.

The Sky Mesa -Darling My Darling filly has a wonderful pedigree and the looks to match. I was happy with the full to Purge as well.....Tomorrow, I'm especially anxious to see how the AP Indy-Macoumba filly (full to Malibu Moon) and the Mineshaft-Unbridled Lassie sell. Lane's End wants to get the buzz going on Mineshaft and Bill Farish seems to be very high on this filly. I'm crossing my fingers!

Never discount the Miss Carmie clan... but recently it has been a little quiet outside of Tatescreek, Sightseek, etc. On a side note, its not unusual for a top racemare to be a poor producer, but their daughters usually kick it on for them. Im hoping thats the case with Winning Colors. Saw one of her daughters foals and it was lovely.

ahhh i found the hip that has 7 lines of La Troienne, 61. i like this ped on the filly. More Than Ready (bottom line to La Troienne)/Garvins Girl...

Why do you think one of the best and most historic breeding families bought her?

[sumitas]

it pays to look deeper in the ped than the catalogue pages doesn't it ?

Hate to break up this hardcore pedigree chat, but have any Empire Makers gone through the ring yet? I remember hearing there were going to be some at this sale, correct? I think they were higher hip numbers or I'm waaaay off base here (wouldnt be the first time). And I know I could look this up, but to be quite frank I'm handicapping Saratoga tomorrow and I'm just too damn lazy to look that up as well. Plus I think my laptop can only handle 1 PDF at a time. Back to talking about stuff that is over my head now...

Thank you much Miss Balletto. Might have to tune in to their live web video to check em out.

I LIVE for the 8 gen pedigree! Im truly a dork... its official. lol

Slightly off-topic, im shocked at how many extremely well-bred foals in the Sept sale are being pushed back into the 2000-4000 range due to shear numbers. There are going to be some really good deals to be had at the sale. Maybe its time for me to join one of the sheiks harems.

we still have the preferred and open session in Saratoga after tomorrow's final select session.
