The first yearling on the list (Hip 8) is not a half-sister to JP's Gusto. She's out of a half sister to JP's Gusto.
I almost went to the sale because of this massive error. Nice research. No wonder they put a big stack of Blood-Horse magazines outside the men's room at Keeneland. Pretty soon they'll be stocking the toilet paper dispensers with them.

I was kinda entertained watching to see how far that 2yo Candy Ride colt was gonna go with the listing 'pregnant' on the board. They caught it at $55,000 and he went for $105,000. "That's a world record for a pregnant 2yo colt, I think" was declared after he was sold. Made me laugh. He was a cribber from what I remember. Don't they put that up on the board? I bet that's what they meant to do and ended up calling him pregnant instead.

In the current print edition (July 9-16), there's write-ups on a few first crop yearling sires. On Brother Derek, Michael Youngs wrote that he finished 4th in the Derby behind Giacomo, and proving that wasn't just a misprint or a slip, added that Brother Derek was then 4th in the Preakness behind Afleet Alex! He got the finish positions right, but unfortunately, the year was a bit skewed! I don't know how big a deal that is, but it just seemed to me to be a mistake that shouldn't have been made.
