LOL, actually no. That filly is worth at least that much and probably more just as a broodmare prospect. She'll be in good hands regardless; Malibu Moone was an extremely talented horse. If she's got anywhere near his ability, she'll be ok.

Didn't he only have two starts though? I mean seriously...

I'm sorry... I just get dumbfounded by these high prices. I'm in shock...

Thats what I'm talking about! The juice for the next Triple Crown winner is 'coming' out of this guy! How did his babies look? Only 12 months until they hit the track - cant wait

well, the high prices are always going to be there.

Yes, Moon only raced twice, but he was brilliant nonetheless. Also, the rest of the family is great as well. It's no big deal- I was disappointed she didn't sell, but in the end it means nothing.

Mineshaft filly goes for $1.45........yay! I was so nervous about this filly; I'm so glad she sold well. What a great showing for first crop sires Empire Maker, Mineshaft and Sky Mesa..........next year is going to be so much fun, following their offspring.

Can't wait until September when most of the Mineshaft yearlings will be sold.......

That Mineshaft sale seems more about the family as anything else . They haven't put fillies from that family on the market very often. I don't think that was the best individual in the sale.

They put that filly on the market because they thought she was one of Mineshaft's best yearlings and they wanted to generate some buzz for his September yearlings .......I doubt her price is only due to the family. I don't think anyone is going to spend big bucks on yearlings that don't look the part

Actually, horses are registered as "sold" for big prices that don't actually change hands - all the time. It is not uncommon for the owners of a first year stallion to run a weanling or yearling through the ring - have a friend sign the ticket - while never actually parting with the horse.

I was just suggesting that this particular filly was not the absolute best physical specimen at that sale, and if her sale was legit, it had as much to do with getting a filly from that family as anything else.
