people might take you more seriously if you didn’t act like a crybaby on here every day. get a new hobby man. try a crossword puzzle.
You went bat-shit bonkers over a $3000 race at Freehold. And you're trying to fuck him over because there are always 3 versions of the truth. Yours, his and what actually happened. And you proclaim yours as unassailable. Give us a break.
so far 3 yearlings have sold for less than 22k...anthony bought 2 of them...so is he buying "value" or just buying crap to justify his cost of being there for 9 days...
and whats wrong with the one he bought - certainly on paper with that mare ? Havent seen how he stands or goes, but maybe he toes in (out) but in the ring didnt look that terrible - certainly looked better than the one that went for $3k
151 he bought for 15k. looks awesome on paper. looked a little bit slight in the ring, but great page and way cheaper than what the pedigree shows. hard to say without being there, but on paper, thats an easy one to part out for sure. id say that was a great risk to take. low risk, huge pedigree upside.
I agree with everything that you're saying and had he mentioned this one prior to the sale then I wouldn't have an issue with it but when he mentions 50 horses and then buys horses that he hasn't even mentioned it makes you think he is buying horses just to buy something
151 on paper was a steal, just no telling for sure without seeing it. That's the biggest thing. As far as the others, which I haven't looked at, there probably is some sort of quota system, which many of these big baby trainers have. I mean, they need to buy x number for x number of clients priced at x. Kind of a bad system so to speak, but there's truth to it I think. These baby sales are tough. It's heartbreaking to go and have 5 favorites picked and they all go for double what you can spend. Then you kinda have to regroup and look for others, regardless of what your initial plan was.
or maybe he figured the colt would go for way more - like out of his league so he didnt. With that logic, I should see the videos of the two horses that went for $1 million then as well? I do wonder why he does video all the horses as it tips his hand potentially to breeders who can run up the price or gets the horse extra interest? Have you ever gone to a sale with a horse(s) in mind, couldnt get them but came home with something else? To Cory's point, had you seen the sheet on the horse and been asked to price him, I doubt you would have written $15k down. I think Cory is right - small risk - potential on the upside.
