Thanks for the tip.

I was hoping for a little better price but $8.60 wasn't too bad. Garret said she was a little green today and didn't handle the turns too well. I thought she was in trouble for a minute on the turn there. I think she was just a little confused.

Anyway, today she ran the way I thought she was capable of running. I knew she didn't fire first time out. Coming down the stretch that day, she didn't look anything like she looked in her workout at the sale. At the sale, she worked an 1/8th of a mile in :10 3/5, but more importantly was the way she moved. She had a beautiful stride. I loved her. I wish we would have bought her. The price was reasoable. She was a $220,000 buy-back. I'm guessing that she ended up selling for somewhere in the $210,000-$250,000 range. I can't remember why we ended up passing on her. I think our vet saw something he didn't like on the x-rays.
