Very simple.

Haves and have nots -- soft market, less buyers, but compounded by or irrelevant due to the unrealistic expectations of sellers.

I believe Stardom Bound went for $5.7 million - not sure, but IMO I'm sure she went to Godolphin. Who else could afford that # in this day and age?

That stinks - she'll be shipped to Dubai, pointed for the Dubai Oaks, miss the the KY Oaks and run all of about 4 or 5 times (if that) next year. I have no doubt that the Sheikh treats his horses wonderfully, but IMO, we are not going to see this filly's full potential come out. This has been a lousy day all around - even Da Bears looked like garbage.

Believe they said congrats Tom not John so don't think Sheik Mo got her. Even if he did he would have kept her here.

Just found out it was IEAH that got SB. On another board, people are very upset about this. I despise Dutrow, but maybe IEAH will send her to John Terranova who has Laragah? I doubt it, though.

Also, it's the UAE Oaks, not Dubai Oaks, that I was referring to.

Why?? It's not like the Pepper's Pride connections had a chance. Who else was in the running here?

LOL True.

Everyone seems to hate IEAH. I despise Dutrow, but even though one of the owners (Iavarone) lives in my hometown (in fact, I think he lives across the stree from me), I haven't exactly followed them. You'd know more than I would as to why IEAH inspires such strong feelings in people......

There is a link in the first post of the entire catalog in pdf. Go to it and scroll through and you can pick out the hips of interest.

If SB goes to Dutrow, she'll stay on the East Coast - that'll be fun.
