A nice commission is coming for the sales company on this one.........more money doesn't guarantee success. Over the last five years at the Standardbred Horse Sale there have been 43 horses which sold for $300,000 or more and to date (as of 10/30/22) just six have earned over their purchase price. Of course that includes a group of horses from ages 2 through 6, so the younger horses haven't had the same opportunity as the older ones, but the bottom line is 14 percent have produced a "profit" over time, not including the cost of board and training.

Price is going to depend a lot on how she looks as an individual not just who she is.  I'd be willing to bet that whatever she costs they change her name.  Caroline Kountry does not ring any bells for me.

estimate $250 but it could get crazy just because of who she was
 i think some people will back off based on her maternal pedigree
no disputing her ability on the track though

Very sobering stats...and especially the part about not including the cost of board, training (and one can add transportation, staking and vet.)  If you buy a big ticket yearling, from the day the hammer falls till  mid-year of the 3 year old year (when you really know if you have something), can take you $100,000 easily if you run the horse in stakes etc.

I’ll say $210.  For often than not great mates don’t live up to the standard of what they think they should be   Especially mares who have raced as long and as hard as she had.  Not to mention she’s a Tintin in America mare.

Who she is ??   shartin was a great race mare but other than her, the pedigree reader has nothing to talk about. 
 2 nd dam has had 6 foals 1 brother made $12,855 rest never raced
3 rd dam 7 foals , 2 winners totaling $36,000
And it foes on for 2 more dams

When Shartins write up takes 1/3 of a page and it takes 4 more dams to barely fill the page it adds up in my book to Shartin  being a freak.  A nice freak but still a freak.. 
time will tell if she is a broodmare or not…

She has this one by Capt. Treacherous and her 2nd was by Capt. Treacherous also; however in 2023 she was bred to Capt. Midnight ($5000 stud fee in Indiana).  If they felt they could get $500,000+ for her foal(s), I don't see why they would "downbreed" her so starkly?  Perhaps it is because Captain Midnight also stands at Cobbitty (NSW, Australia) and they also send frozen semen to NZ... so perhaps they are hoping to find some big $$ buyers from down under??

Only because the same Amish guy Ola Yoder that owns Shartin also owns Capt Midnight, trying to make his stud and he doesn’t really need to make any money at this

What did he pay for her?...........A similar search in 2022 for the Lexington Selected sale using $400,000 as the magic price found 28 horses sold for that number over the last five years and only one horse – Chestnut Hill ($622,189) – earned over his selling price. That group includes seven 2-year-olds who haven't earned money yet and could mature over the winter, and a pair of six-figure winners in Ari Ferrari J and Walner Payton, who is actually just $2,232 short of her $510,000 cost. For the record, the average return on the track has been just over $92,000 per yearling off an average selling price of $560,535.

Forget worrying about the dam side. It's an EGO day for the wealthy when these types of horses become available. I feel she'll bring at least $450,000. Especially when eligible for KY and as a future broodmare.

Facts....let the buyer beware! Yearlings are WAY overpriced--------2019: Trotting colt Maverick became the highest-priced yearling in harness racing history, selling for $1.1 million. The Fasig-Tipton Sales Pavilion erupted in cheers Tuesday (Oct. 1) when the hammer fell and trotting colt Maverick became the highest-priced yearling in harness racing history, selling for $1.1 million on the opening night of the Lexington Selected Sale.“You look at the breeding, and you look at what Greenshoe has done; this colt was perfect,” said Brad Grant, who will be part of the horse’s ownership group. “He was as nice looking an athlete as you would want to see, and I think he’s worth EVERY cent."----------ask Brad Grant NOW what the horse IS worth.    (https://ustrottingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Maverick_USTA8799-250x214.jpg)

Shartin was good when Tetrick had the juice and King was using it. But now that the Fishman boat has sailed it's back to reality as the numbers prove it. As soon as Lyons Bros pull their stock Jimmy will be back in good ole Harrington/Dover full time racing in overnighters. It was a good run for those years but welcome home Jimmy.

Well gang, tomorrow will be here shortly and all of the consignors cannot wait to sell their goods!  Will the gross top last year?  Probably.  It won't be long to know once Shartin N's foal sells as a barometer of what is to come! Will any yearling top $1 million this year? Let the madness begin!    .........Last year’s Lexington Selected Yearling Sale obliterated 16 records, including new standards for gross ($65,289,000), average ($73,690), median ($46,500) and number of yearlings sold for $100,000 or more (196). The gross exceeded the previous record ($56,692,500 in 2021) by more than $8.5 million or 15 per cent.

I’ll say $210.  For often than not great mates don’t live up to the standard of what they think they should be   Especially mares who have raced as long and as hard as she had.  Not to mention she’s a Tintin in America mare.

I was even to high at $210k but I’m not shocked

Here is the winner. $120k seems to be the closest.

$800K for any yearling is ridiculous.  You need $1 million in purses won just to break even!  The breeders love these morons. Hip 48 from Mission Brief has done nothing so far with her first 3 foals and this one will could very well be the 4th bust.
Paying that much for a yearling is just setting you up for future failure.

Easy deductions.  She has zero pedigree, raced her guts out till she was 6-7yrs old, and everyone knows shes was gassed to the gills by Josh Marks.  Josh Marks associated with a broodmare is the kiss of death.  Not one top race mare he has been associated with has ever thrown a thing.

Damn does Josh Marks gas every good horse?  Don’t know the guy but damn seems that every good horse is some how tied to Josh

Hunterton and partners not only bred Mission Brief, they have retained her as a broodmare. Hunterton’s Steve Stewart said Mission Brief is, “the gift that keeps on giving... Going into the sale, we thought that she was a very, very nice filly. We knew that there’s not many Gimpanzees and people like to buy first crops.
“The mare is just amazing. She’s sold yearlings for $400,000, $725,000, $550,000 and now $800,000. That has got to be some kind of record.”---------the first 3 made only $88,000-----$29,000-----not racing at 2-----and now this one! Melander bought the last 3 for $2 million for his owners and so far their return on their MORONIC investments have been $117,000!!!!!  Define insanity?  Saying they retain value as broodmares is nonsense as they won't get back their cash outlay for their future foals if their records on track show little.  Mission Brief looks like a BUST as a broodmare for the prices her yearlings are commanding.

WOW! My original bid at $225K was the closest but nowhere near what we thought. The NZ breeding is NOT well received here.

That NZ breeding for her is beyond awful. Many of them now are way better than that, especially now there are mares by all the top US stallions and 10 million Bettor's Delight mares down there. 


As an example I read like as of 5 or 6 years ago there were 125 winners who were Bettor's Delight sons and daughters out of Christian Cullen mares.

This from 2020

Harness racing's greatest breeding cross – Bettor's Delight over a Christian Cullen mare – has proven time and time again that it is the most potent cross in the harness racing breeding world today.

Lazarus heads the charge with over $4 million in the bank. His dam is Bethany by Christian Cullen.

Next on the list is Chicago Bull ($1,744,430), his dam is Chicago Blues by Christian Cullen.

Then there is Ohoka Punter ($1,177,323) his dam is Millwood Minisota by Christian Cullen.

The list goes on and on with the likes of Highview Tommy ($990,015), The Fixer ($1,055,693), Spanish Armada ($787,470), Belle Of Montana ($587,501), Self Assured (2,155,469), None Bettor, Wrappers Delight, Elle Mac, Amazing Dream, Better B Amazed, No Doctor Needed, Seaswift Joy, Another Masterpiece, Heisenberg, Ashley Locaz and Chase The Dream.

This cross Bettor's Delight over a Christian Cullen mare has resulted in over $20 million in progeny earnings world wide to date (2020)

FYI
The fillies name has been changed to August Moon,
and now owned by Richard Poillucci,
South Eastion, MA.
I looked her up because I had guessed she would be a no sale.
I am wrong again!
Good thing I have not made a bet in thirty years!

Alagna signed for her at the sale.  His buyers probably don't like her and Poillucci bought her just because he owned Shartin. 

I was right that they would change her name but that was to be expected.

The number was right. First and foremost, zero pedigree. Zero residual value. This filly sold as an individual. That's it. And that's about the yearling average for Captaintreacherou s (I think his 2023 in Lexington was under $120k). After that, all circumstantial and nothing to cause this filly to sell for big bux. Not a major-league, big-name, accomplished consignor. Relatively new consignor, and no consistent history of selling high-price, big-ticket yearlings. They do OK for newbies, but when you average $60k at the premier sale in the world, you aren't selling a no pedigree filly for several hundred thousand. Buyer-wise, nobody was "on her" and there were no suckers to sucker. I saw the filly at the farm and the sale. Good individual. Not great, not stand-out. Good. She seemed like a natural, showed well, walked well, was patient, and so on. She did seem like a seasoned yearling, one who was handled a lot and well by the farm. No surprise Richard ended up with her. He marches to the beat of his own drum.

he owned shartin and of course made hugr dollars racing and then selling her
so to buy her first foal out of captain not a huge stretch

Josh Marx must have Alien technology! This guy is at 7 or 8 places to treat horses every day of racing and in 2 countries to boot! If you're riding along with him, your ass best be in the seat when his door closes or you're walking home! ngc3
