I was surprised to see it listed, I thought they said he would race 1 more year?

The people running the sale are still cheering on. Some Consignors are saying “I think we are having a good sale”  Brittany on the other hand says “our horses are selling for about half what we thought the would bring”.
Lets face it, other than a couple sires, the prices crashed and burned yesterday.
When I see fussy trainers with deep pockets,(Takter and Alagna) buying at $19,000 to $30,000. THE MARKET IS SOFT…!,!

The middle price buyers are about gone just like mile middle class Americans. 

Now to see what the last 300+ sell for.  And the in a month another 910 will hit the block. 

[Locked in with pace]

Looks like Harris starts bidding on anything that hits $250,000. Pollack must have a well of money. Now he said he is concentrating on buying mares to build up his breeding shed. I wish him the best but I say he'll lose 10's of millions.

Not that it matters, however, if his goal is to be a smaller version of Diamond Creek, Brittany, Crawford----the absolute first thing he should do is hire Bob Marks. Bob knows more about pedigrees, families, breeding, etc., than anyone is business today. Period. If he wants to get a farm, then he will need a premier farm/operations manager too. Maybe Zubrod is available, LOL.

Bob built the entire business model and broodmare band for Peretti and made that entire operation self-sustaining, profitable, etc. Before Bob was brought on board, Perretti was losing money, racing horses, breeding, etc. Bob turned Perretti into not just a commercial breeder, but a major force in the breeding business. Regardless, like I always say----unless I am racing against him, I wish him the best of luck and all the best! LOL.

    Karl was withdrawn? Buyers had no interest, or not going to stand him, or both!

[Parked]

We might know more about this come Sunday.  What are the odds he will be scratched sick ??  3-1 last week now after the draw its even money.

I have no idea. Nobody is even talking about this. Does it mean he's racing again next year? I don't know, but with two major breeders owning him, who knows? What discussions took place in the past between these two breeders? Who knows. Nobody knows what's really going on with this colt soundness wise, health wise, and even ability/talent wise. Too many unknowns. LOL.
