how to pick out a good yearling any ideas,, theres always something new to learn

[horses first]

Long pastern yes can equal a fast horse but also the breakdown or the immature of a 2yr old can make that frustrating. I think I remember that was one trait of Tactial Landing when he sold? Videos when they can cover ground have some bounce and there feet aren't on the ground very long.

Take a chance on the ones the big shots don't like. If they have decent breeding its worth taking a chance.

Low price cause no one is bidding on them and you can take a shot with a few for low cost. The big shots are not always right, and you might end up with one they didn't like that turns out to be a real good one. Colts are an added bonus.

My point exactly!

Confirmation is vital along with pedigree depth. Use the videos to rule out horses, but not to jump a poor bred, poorly put together colt to the top, just because it paces all day. These farms know how to get them to look great in the field. Body length, at least for pacers, is underrated and important. Hard for horses to pace fast when they're built to crossfire and interfere.

[coryd03]

Also, the "big" barns go for what I consider, the "obvious" lookers. You can pretty much call what barns will get which colts based on top looks, with equal pedigree depth. They're always the more well developed, bigger boned, "thick" yearlings. I agree they look good, but you can find value in finer boned,  well put together individuals, that meet your criteria.

You are correct.....yearl ing sales are a very crooked business.

 A few years ago I looked at  40 horses who were Million dollar race winners, (Hambo, NA Cup, etc.)  I forget the exact numbers but it was around an average $45K yearling, the mare was average 12 yrs old when horse was foaled and it was average the 5th foal.
