Are we ever going to stop talking about The Green Monkey?

I was watching the intro where the instructions are being given and appreciated the reminder to the audience to feed and water their purchases. I'm sure some people don't even realize that they're now responsible for that.

Hip 115 by Rock Hard Ten looked enormous. I think he went for $70,000 or so.

Yeah c'mon, he's not War Admiral or anything.

I was a little sad that the yearlings out of Belva and Bird Town are out. Was looking forward to them. Are they having second thoughts? Do they not think they can get what they're worth? Do they think they can do better at a 2yo or private sale in the future?

Ile De France and Clear Mandate young'uns on the way later.

they could be out for any reason. illness, private sale, vetting, some physical issue. change of mind about selling...hard to say. just watch for info after the sale, you might find out something.
