OBS March

[VOL JACK]

I looked up a dozen or so hips yesterday to find what they sold for as yearlings for Mike. (Most were sold in book 4-6 at KEE Sept) It just amazes me how most of these horses were sold for 30-50k 6 months ago. I guess getting to watch one work an eighth of a mile is worth a lot to some. A good percentage of these hips will bring 5-10 times their yearling price.

i was the underbidder on hip #254 at OBS Aug for $30k. I can imagine after breezing in 10 flat, that she might fall into that category of being 5-10 times their yearling price..

I have a friend who is bidding on # 329. I will have to remember to continue watching so i can view # 333 also.. Funny how they both breezed in 9.4..

Nice call!! $1.8 mil bid by telephone..

That one was a 115k October yearling. It was one of several to share the bullet, and it has an unusually attractive sire pedigree for a 2yo sale horse (Smart Strike out of a Grade 2 stakes winning Pulpit mare. 3rd dam was successful racer and broodmare Minidar)

For those of us looking through this sale just for debut bets and debut bet-againsts ... it was a good sale for both groups.

I found a few in this sale with nice pedigrees who sold very well, and would have a very hard time winning a debut sprint at Delaware Park, but none the less will draw a fairly low-morning line number when they debut at a major track.

Such as?

There were a few dozen of them.

One of them, a full brother to a horse I loved coming out of OBS (Secret Circle) was utterly terrible and still brought 145K.

I saw a terrible Giant's Causeway half to Officer, a Harlan's Holiday who simply can't run, and a lot of horses who looked average at best go for six figures.

I'd be very interested to see what this horse's conformation is, and was. Despite a female family strong enough for WinStar to buy his dam, Mini Sermon, for $450,000 from the Evans dispersal at Keeneland November in 2011, WinStar only had to pay $100,000 to acquire this horse as a weanling at the same sale, and then let him go for $115,000 last fall (with no significant catalog update since October).

The conformation couldn't have been all that wonderful to only sell for 115k with all that pedigree.

It was a seriously good piece of work in the under-tack video, and being a colt, it was going to obviously sell for many times the yearling price. However, $1.8 million was shocking to me. Would never have guessed that high.
