A curiosity

[Thoroughbred Fan]

Sales are a funny thing. Things I've learned from being around them.

1. The best looking horses who vet out clean get everyone on them and go for too much money.

2. The horses with a flaw or two can easily get overlooked and go cheap.

3. Order in which a horse comes up can also hurt the price.

4. And, last but not least, the horses can change physically and mentally pretty drastically in a very short time at that stage of their life.

*** The price doesn't reflect the value of the animal. It simply reflects the price someone was willing to pay in the vacuum that it the sales pavilion.
