I don't know that I'd draw too many conclusions about Saarland from this filly. At $400,000, she was by far the highest price Saarland to sell at auction last year (suggesting that she was a superior individual, particularly given the bottom side of her pedigree). With the market crazy about first crop sires, especially those from the Unbridled sire line, to my way of thinking, it is not a good sign that Saarland's average yearling last year only sold for about $40,000 and that he only had three sell for a figure in excess of $100,000. Obviously, time will tell.
