For those of us looking through this sale just for debut bets and debut bet-againsts ... it was a good sale for both groups.

I found a few in this sale with nice pedigrees who sold very well, and would have a very hard time winning a debut sprint at Delaware Park, but none the less will draw a fairly low-morning line number when they debut at a major track.
Such as?

There were a few dozen of them.

One of them, a full brother to a horse I loved coming out of OBS (Secret Circle) was utterly terrible and still brought 145K.

I saw a terrible Giant's Causeway half to Officer, a Harlan's Holiday who simply can't run, and a lot of horses who looked average at best go for six figures.

Of the horses who didn't get a bullet, without a doubt my favorite work of the sale was #66.

Hard to say any Grand Slam colt that sells for $210,000 is going to be a bargain, but that horse is exactly what I'm looking for.

I liked him as well.
I really look forward to following this sale going forward.
the Flatter colt (hip 143) I thought was the work of the sale, even though I knew 333 would be the topper.

The value of the sale I thought, was Hip 26.
I look forward to see her debut on the turf or poly at hopefully SAR or KEE later this year.
