If you bought 18000 foals from 4 years of keeneland sales you would have a result that is indeed representitive of your post.
If you buy all the yealings listed in the spotlight you would be fortunate to win 4 G1 races in three years..Dont you agree? Do you really think 2 of these will win more then 2 G1 races in their careers? When you sell 70% of the best breed TB's each year shouldn't at least as many be G1 winners? My point, which is a good one, is most of these special foals will be frogs. These "special walks", "amazing character", "superior scope" stuff is beyond humorous. How does Nick Zito find G1 winners for 100 to 300k and others find frog after frog at 1mil to 3 mi.. Has Besilu won a race yet with a yearling they purchased?

It is great stuff....but at the expense of stating the obvious, what are these people supposed to say?
"The horse looks like crap and we're just hoping someone is dumb enough to overspend on him based on our adjectives so we can further line our pockets and screw more people over." Lots of dumb people with a lot of money burning holes in their pockets who eat that stuff up.

The watch lists that Dede Biles, Glenye Cain Oakford and the TDN people compile are simply the most recognizable siblings, pedigrees and buzz horses. They're conversation starters offering points of reference out of the hundreds, and at KEE September, thousands of pages.

That is unless you're someone who is setup to pinhook. Which is by far the best chance you have. Doing that you'd want precociously bred horses who can drill well in nine months from now. It costs way too much to get a horse to the races to be fishing for modest priced purchases at yearling sales which have the odds way, way, way stacked against them. The best chance for a buyer is at 2yo sales -- with modestly bred horses who work well unblinkered and sell in the $15,000 to $95,000 range. And those are hardly great investments, but you've got a good chance to win money with every single one of them if they can stay healthy...and a lot of times they don't stay healthy for very long. However, the horses who don't perform well in the under-tack at 2yo's and have some breeding are sensational rip-offs! You'll see horses selling for $300,000 who you know have no shot of ever winning a maiden claiming race at a decent track.

Only the biggest players can operate at the top end of that yearling market. There are workable plans no matter where you are on the budget scale. Depends on who you are working with too, don't you think? There are success stories taking any and every approach whether yearling or 2yo-in-training including those that have great track records picking out projectable yearlings at middle of the road prices and those buying nice bargains at a place like the Timonium sale.

There are success stories with some of the people who buy lottery tickets as well. A lot of people who are given credit as having a shrewd eye for a horse are completely full of crap. Just listen to some of them talk and it's pretty apparent they are basically wanna-be psychics who know almost nothing about horse racing but are skilled enough at fooling the right kind of people. Walter Vosburgh wrote a funny piece about a guy who was considered one of the most brilliant buyers of his day -- and he was completely ignorant to all the points of a horse and to pedigree.
