Azeri's baby went for $7.7mil.

Several from the Courtly Dee family (mares like Aishah, Aurora, Altesse etc) including one for $1.7m, by Empire Maker.

Actually Azeri's colt was a buy back. It's the most expensive one in Keeneland sale history. http://auctions.bloodhorse.com/article/46970.htm I wanna see a picture of him. How close did they get to the reserve? They acted like he looks pretty good. Will they keep him or is this gonna be a private sale kind of deal?

I was only 1/2 listening but suspected he was RNA when they did a review of his fabulous pedigree when the bidding slowed at over $7m. Sounded like they were trying to put him over the $8m threshold.

I doubt were real bids on this horse. People who would bid $7.6 million would know what it was going to take to buy the horse. I dont think they had any intention of selling this horse.

I agree. You could just tell from the bidding that there wasn't a lot of play here. I wouldn't be shocked if someone said there was a live bid or two after $7m, but this very easily could have been a "valuation" play. At this level, I think there are only 2 players -- besides the owner -- maybe a third and that would be a longshot new player (think new hubby, LOL), but I doubt it.

I think, regardless of the RNA #'s, the sale will be down substantially. A boutique sale like the Spa has consignors "standing their ground" so to speak. This sale tends to have a different dynamic. With 5500 horses being sold, the "faces in the crowd" are in much more abundance. I don't know the RNA #'s yet, and I haven't looked at the first session #'s either, but I think this year's first session had less horses for sale -- maybe 10%.

Ditto - and isn't that bull? He said the last live bid was 7.5 mil, he went 7.7, but the colt is described as an RNA? And he is working on "partners" so he can be part of racing him?

Bah.

And I just realized Keeneland wouldn't care, as don't they still get their commission?

Default Top End of Market Remains Strong
No real surprise that the top end of the yearling market remains strong....
Just a continuation of what we saw at Saratoga in August.
The fifteen or so buyers that dominate the high end market are obviously not affected by what is going on in the real world for the rest of us folk...

So, no real need to show up at the sale until Book 3 or Book 4 this coming weekend. Hopefully, and one would suspect, with 5500 yearlings to be auctioned that there will be bargains to be found at that point in the sale onward.

Agreed..top and bottom should be about the same, but hoping to find some value in the middle

I saw one of them [Be Smart] run at Saratoga and fetched a $100 to win. Apparently no one saw him in the DRF or the program guide that day but me.

Hey.....I wonder if Servis will train any of the future crop?
