Mixed Auction 2024 - How’d you do?

[Hilda_with_Clicker]

I love spending limit. Makes me lose bids but it’s much more interesting

I like to remember what I bought in the previous year, and here are my 2023 Mixed Auction purchases:

@Hilda_with_Clicker

Rammstein ( Deep Impact x Odyssey) is a dark bay yearling out of Gold ranked mare which I also own (I bought her at 2022 Mixed Auction), and we had her first foal this year. Rammstein is a half brother of ICh. Gal From Seattle. Price: $1,000

Ziyo ( NCh. Painted Raven x Ch. Kickedouttadaclub) is a dark grey weanling, also out of Gold ranked mare. Price: $35,500.

I’m usually more impatient with colts and I retire them sooner than fillies, so it’s nice to have two more. In 2022, I also bought Cat Surfer - a Platinum ranked broodmare. We bred her to First Born Son at the beginning of this year.

Rammstein made his first start just recently but he finished only 9th. We’re planning to run him again in a month, but on a different track. Ziyo is still growing and Cat Surfer gave us a lovely brown colt which we named Cat Goes Fishing.

This year I bought a broodmare named Argelian. She raced for six years and changed owners a number of times, earning a Champion title and a speed record on turf. She has one winner and we bred her to Ablative Armour. Price was just $1,000.

Then I bought a yearling colt My Name Is Million. He is by NCh. Carrowmore and out of Gold ranked mare Aliceinwonderland. Pedigree shows that he should be a turf classic runner. Price was $62,000.
