wait, did someone say an honest mistake was made at an auction
now that would be a first
sales company ( david reid) should have acknowledged the mistake and given the seller the $30k difference
for all the money they make doing very little for the industry its the least they could do

Couldn't have said it better myself. The amount of sheninangans that goes on at two sales in particular is outrageous. Fathom bids are part of the fabric of sales, I've seen it hundreds of times where all of a sudden the 40K bid isn't real and they have to retreat back to 30K. And they don't care two shits if they get exposed from time to time as they have all the control. Just like the folks at OnGait selling all their broadmares now, they have changed the starting price already and it's only been a day. Nobody wants to bid on those things as they know those guys can see who bidding, how many clicks/views a particular mare has, and everything else that goes on behind the scenes. No fucking integrity in the game and I've see lots, including a certain horse being entered into a certain sale with a known heart defect. That sale company told the poor buyer 'too bad' when things went south a week after the sale. And that person had never sold one of their horses EVER at a yearling sale, so figure it out but know they washed their hands and got their lawyers to rewrite the sale agreement.

   And you think that why?

Maybe because he's BANNED from most tracks on the East Coast....IDIOT 

Race#5 Exactor Box 6/7 expect them to sit 1-2 the entire way around the track

Race#6-#5 BET HE ROCKS 5-1 ML Sat in the two hole behind #1 in the qualifier and never made up any ground. I’ll take a swing tonight, expect Cullen to leave & rail horse to be babied, might hook Cullens at a price.

Race#11-#2 POWER CODE 4-1 ML Nice looking qualifier, cheap bunch in here. Harris & connections took a bath on this colt, new owners tonight will look to recoup some of their investment.

Race#12-#10 MYULTIMATE SNOWY A 9-2 ML Outside post will inflate the odds, not a bunch of gate speed in here, see if Roy sprints or floats out and lands mid pack, I think despite the post, this guy can get it done in the finale.

Best of luck! 

Nice circuit way back when. Spring Batavia, summer, Hamburg and back to Batavia in Aug thru Nov. Scatter for the winter.  Then repeat.

Then what happened, other than Gallo and winning Trainer of the year in 2000.

What?
You are very confused. Wake up
