Goldikova

10 pnt move up · #1 11-08-2009, 10:49 AM

I thought she had maybe the most perfect setup of any race in the BC this year...now she is a great horse and you dont need to give a great horse the perfect setup...

Can anyone tell my why Kent had Whatsthescript on the pace, that horse is a stone cold closer.

I thought she had a tough set up considering that she usually is a lot closer to the pace. Unbelievable run home. Supposedly they are considering another year of racing with her. She may not quite be Miesque but she is pretty damn close.

Not that either would be for sale at any price but who do you deem more valueable as a broodmare Zenyatta or Goldikova.. An astute horse owner who has had success selling mares for 7 figs on several ocassions suggested Zenyatta would fetch 20 mil from Darley in a second. While I have no clue wouldnt that make Goldikova worth 30 mil? lol

Again neither would ever be for sale but its kind of fun dream..

tough day for Smart Strike lol Hope yours turns out half as nice as some of these but really hoping he is twice as good!

Mares like that have no real world value. Actually breeding to Zenyatta may be a little tricky because of her massive size.

I know it's a tough question to answer but what would your thoughts be on a potential price for Zenyatta as a broodmare? Really, I'm wondering how much more than a Dubai World Cup win it would be.

You really cant price her. Broodmares are so much harder to value at the high end. But what really makes it hard is that her babies wouldnt be for sale if she were bought by Shiekh Mo, who would be the only person crazy and rich enough to make an offer they would even listen to.

If she went to a sale which is fantasyland 10 - 15mil has to be attainable..The guy bought Ashado for crist sake for what 12mil.

I agree she is a beast on an animal.. I would assume they will get an AP Indy first..

Good question. I suppose medaglia D'oro would be a possibility and ironically he would make the foal a the same cross as Racheal Alexandra.

IMO, I thought both Tapitsfly and Furthest Land had much better set ups.

How about the set up Fatal Bullet had? I'm sorry, but you have to win with that kind of trip. I thought he was the most disappointing of all the races. Looked like he was in the catbird's seat and you knew Zensational was already done after he didnt make the lead.

The sprint is probably the last race I should comment on. I used 5 horses in that race and leaned a little bit heavier on Capt Candy Man. Last I saw him, he was crossing the wire about 10 lengths behind Zenyatta

He was a huge disappointment for me, especially given the great trip he got.

Your first clue should have been I never touted him once this week, considering I banged his drum last yr and always went out of my way of saying good things about him. BTW nice call on Cloudy's Knight he ran a good race and you were right about him.

Furthest Land did have a good trip, I only caught the stretch of the turf race but if you say so then I dont doubt it.
