A lot of the times they do, especially the Storm Cat's since he will be pensioned soon. Although in the case of Smarty Jones' dam, I'll Get Along, they end up skipping a year breeding to Elusive Quality because they had no idea what they got the first time.

Just for those of you wondering about white feet. It has nothing to do with temperment. For some reason, white feet tend to be much more sensitive. I know of a certain horse who has set the Saratoga track record for 5f on the turf three times in the last two years who can't run more than a few times a year becasue of this condition. He requires long breaks to allow the feet to heal. If it weren't for his feet, he'd likely have won a bunch more races.

Actually I think everything is going fairly 'cheap' for the select portion of the sale and there are a lot of RNA's.

Seeking the Gold does not sire sound horses a lot of the time. They win, but don't last long, in general.

Actually, it's a wive's tale, but some people believe it. The color of a horse's hooves hasn't been shown to have anything to do with soundness. It's the structure of the hoof that causes problems.
