Thank you much Miss Balletto. Might have to tune in to their live web video to check em out.

Im going to try and check out the sale online tomorrow as well. Clearing my evening. Should be interesting what the Mineshaft filly goes for. Lane's End sent most the Missy Baba line mares to Came Home but this one is intriguing as hell.

Sumitas, are you making a "wish list" for us in those sales too? There's actually two fillies that caught my eye in those sales. I'll have to check them out again to remember which ones.

there should be some value in these sessions.

the 61 tonight...it's only the second More Than Ready/Seattle Slew cross i think. the other one i saw was Inverness. she was 3-2-0-0 before she died at 2.

the cross obviously holds promise. hope the foal fares better.

the 85 rna... the pedigree is impressive and the nick is A+ which can't hurt... http://www.fasigtipton.com/catalogs/2006/0808/85.pdf

this might be a good one for Oracle to take a look at for his clients.

so right. PM him I know he's looking for colts (not yearlings but you never know).

That colts does have a wonderful pedigree... but have you noticed her fillies run much better than her colts? Sumitas, you think there's a basis of fact in the theory some mares produce a better runner from one sex over the other? Im not sure how I feel about it, but you see situations like this every now and then when reviewing a mare and sometimes, even a whole family.

hip 85...i'm no expert either but everyone wants predictability. so it's possible that this being a colt may have made some buyers lower their ceiling for him. this family does produce a preponderance, but not exclusively, of filly black type, going back to 1900. good observation. if everything checks out i like this ped.

this bid was well above the average for a yearling Langfuhr but that's because of the exceptional mare. what her foals sell for i don't know.

I'm going to be very nervous - I just think the world of Mineshaft. Bill Farish sounds really confident in his September Mineshaft yearlings. This particular filly must be special since they singled her out for this sale to showcase her sire.
