hey, everyone I’m super excited (and super bored right now) about this foal auction. I’m kinda new so I’m hoping to get one foal . . maybe even two. I was just wondering if anyone saw anything they liked on the auction list . . just trying to get a discussion going.
Ok here are some of the foals that I really like. I’m shooting for a yearling cause that way I’ll have another horse to race in 2010. I’m not very good with lines . . pedigrees and all that stuff . . but some I just have a hunch on.
Dandling - just because I am an absolute Gallant Fox fanatic
Firefoxx - Foxxy Lass has produced a few good runners and who could go wrong being sired by War Adminal (and again, her grandsire is Gallant Fox)
Pleased as Punch - lol, just cause I like his name . . sounds like a big old goof ball
Wow, I can’t believe that it all starts tomorrow! I’m very excited, and have my eye on a few babies. I’m probably more likely to go for yearlings this time, so that I have some more racers come April. Most of all I’m just very thankful that my horses have done so well racing so that I have money to spend on horses.
I’ve got my eye on a couple of the yearlings… I can hardly wait… unfortunately… I’m so new… I doubt I’ll have the funds to outbid anyone… but I’ll have fun trying…
These types of auctions have horses go for remarkably low prices. You might not necessarily get your top pick of horses, but you’ll be able to afford some at least. Since no one can spend more than 100,000 lots of horses go for under 5,000 usually.
Well I managed to nab Secretary Of State (Secretariat X Fantasies O’ War) The dam hasn’t had any foals race yet but i’m hoping I have the right feeling about her since I have her yearling foal, too. Fantasies O’ War is Stakes Placed with a great 2yo record. I also couldn’t pass up a Secretariat foal.
I wasen’t really looking to buy another weanling. I was trying to sell the ones I had. But when I say “Ain’t Wrong” I cou;dn’t help myself. She is already a filly and I am very unsure of what my mare D.S. will give whether a filly or colt. No matter what she will join the broodmare band at E.S. I have renamed her India ES
