Sales topper today was a Bernardini colt for $1,600,000

The most impressive preview I saw was #43 -- a Malibu Moon colt out of a mare named Right Place who sold to Stone Street for 550k.

I can't really knock anything the sales topper did -- but I will say, there were a dozen other horses in this sale who I think would take that horse apart in a 5.5 furlong sprint at Saratoga in a few months.

I've always believed, if you're buying at a 2yo sale, you should be buying for what a horse can do going 5.5fs a few months from now.

If not, you're barking up the wrong tree. The ROI of the very well bred and expensive types who don't get the bullet and don't stand out is absolutely miserable. Better off getting those as yearlings at a very significant discount imo.

Hell, the ROI of all of them is disastrous.
