The Bernardini - Bird Town colt was impressive, hope he does beat the odds and gets to the Derby trail.

Its been suggested elsewhere that Sheik Mo et al. were bidding up a lot of the Bernardini's to improve/inflate the sales figures. . .and if he gets "stuck" with some nice ones, he can afford it. . .

Wouldn't doubt it. The money seemed to be flowing quite freely all night long, I was a bit surprised.

Not a good sale to really Gauge the Market.

I feel certain There is some truth To making Sure all the Bernardini's sale Well

Plus what Fasig is doing for the Pinhookers too Makes them Spend Alot More Money.

The new fasig isnt pinhooker friendly. There were only 3 horses bought last night by pinhookers.

What is a pinhooker?

someone who buys a horse & breaks it and re-sells in a sale. (lots of times buy yearlings, break them and get them fit & sell in a 2yo in training sale)

it can be very profitable for people who know what they are doing.

THere were actually a couple more than that from What I see

But alot of the Pinhookers are there and there bidding there just getting outrun most of the time.

I did talk to one today who did not buy a horse but said he had bid on 6 last night and got out bid everytime.

Itmakes these Pinhookers alot braver when they only have to but up 1/2 the money.
