Not that I needed more two year olds.
Ardent Idea, gr. colt (Formal Occasion x Rumpshaker)
Half to 2 winners from 3 runners, most FF-campaigned or inactive for a few years, but all seemed to do really well when under actual management. Hoping for the same with this guy. Second most expensive at $10,500.
Eminent Game, dkb. filly (Blame x Driven - Worth My While)
I own a Blame 3yo who has been doing fairly well so wanted to grab a daughter. Dam didn’t do much on the track but retired sound after 6 years of racing and over 50 starts. Half to 2 winners from 4 runners, and again most seemed to do well when actually managed. Dam is half to 2 gold mares. Worth a gamble for $1,000.
Smooth Wall, gr. colt (Straticus x It’s An Honour - Highland Pride)
Picked up purely because he’s by Straticus, but also half to 2 winners from 3 runners. Dam is half to platinum-ranked Ancient Honour (dam of NCh. Ancient Magic and 3 other MSW’s). Probably won’t do much at 2. Bought for $1,000.
Solid Rest, blk. colt (Silver Wizard x I’m A Golden Girl)
Half to 3 SW’s and 80% winners; dam was MSW and a millionaire. From the same damline as FFCh. I’m No Fool, NCh. Irish Lights, GCh. One Lucky Soul, GCh. Beau Esprit, GCh. Defense Secretary, and others. Most expensive at $31,500.
Spicy Success, dkb. filly (Gotta Go x Forsaken Art)
Here’s to hoping she doesn’t defy her name! Half to 2 SW’s, and her 3 non-winning siblings are all FF bred/campaigned. Bought for $1,000.
