Based on the performances from Wesley Ward's horses in Florida, and their confusingly low odds race after race, I wouldn't take ANY horse from him.

The over/under on career races for this particular horse feels like 3 1/2.

I saw the same BTW. Ward didnt do much in Florida and all of a sudden he is popping 2 year olds right and left in KY and Cali. Most of these are homebreds or at least he owns part of the horse. Something isnt sitting right with me on this.

Actually Ward had a huge meet, especially in percentage terms, at Gulfstream and one race after another horses were being dramatically overbet and winning with ease.

this is absolutely positively no surprise, if it were opposite then it would be a story...he is crooked, no doubt, none, zero

This is consistent with him, when his horses take action, it comes from all coasts

I believe she will be sold first even though she will be listed as HIP 227. It will be interesting to see who goes for the highest: HIP 86, HIP 112, HIP 113, HIP 124 or HIP 227. I kinda think it will be HIP 124 but wouldnt put alot on it.

Sale begins at 1330 on Tuesday.

There's at least one major stakes winner every year to come out of these 4.5 furlong races at KEE.....perhaps it will be her....as she's certainly going to be the most impressive winner anyway.

Interesting that HIP 86 ends up easily being the sale topper as a filly. The next closest was HIP 165 a Mr Greeley colt.

Lots of RNA's and the big HIP 125 ended up being an out.

The Boundry's were a little surprising as they brought some good money and people still love those Include babies.

Outbid twice.....darn the luck
