Keeneland September Sale

[slotdirt]

Man, you guys act like $295k is a pittance for a horse. I guarantee you at some point she'll be more valuable than that if only as a broodmare.

312 - c. Danzig - Sharp Minister sold for 9.2 Million

318 - c. Vindication - Silvery Swan sold for 4.6 Million

I guess the Mineshaft/Dear Birdie didn't sell well, huh? Disappointing sale for Mineshaft, I think.......but worse for Indy. I don't think he's ever had worse sales results than this one....

Mineshaft - Dear Birdie hasn't sold yet.

The Victory Ride colt sold for over a million.


Why does Rick Porter keep spending so much money on Unbridled Song's when he is SO unsuccessful with them? Rockport Harbor was a one race pony.

[sumitas]

Maybe because they look "racy." LOL.

your kidding right 1.3 million

Nice Kingmambo colt breaks yearling record at $11.7 M....wow...insane!!!

Check out the body on that Danzig colt on the website! At this rate I can't wait until they get a picture of the Kingmambo up!

No, I wasn't. I obviously posted this before he sold. I got this colt confused with another one........$1.3 is pretty nice.
I also noticed that this was a terrible sale for AP Indy - I've never seen worse. He had one go for over $1 million (the Serena's Song colt), another for about $975, 000.00, but overall.........lots of RNA's and middling prices.

Betsy,
I honestly believe that folks just conceded the first two days to the Maktoums and are looking at books 3 and 4 in hopes of landing one.

that's an interesting point mike and could explain some rather uninspiring prices on nice horses.

LOL, that's probably true. I'm not upset, just rather surprised. However, it's not like they sold for $30,000.......someone, somewhere, got a nice Indy yearling for a fraction of what they thought they were going to pay.

Danzig has died, so these are some of his last yearlings - no wonder they sold so well. Can't blame the Sheikhs for wanting to get their hands on some precious commodities.

Interesting sale in that some younger sires made their mark -Distorted Humor, Mr. Greely, etc.......

Trying not to be rude here Betsy but you obviously have not seen many sales AP Indy has done alot worse Heck I remember when One sold for $6,000 at the September sale. If you really want to see what I am Talking About go to Keenelands Web site And Search the Sales Results. Believe What I am telling you he has had horses sale for 25k 27k 32k all in Sept. This may have not been his best year but in now way was it his worse.
