Illini Classic Sale!

[Winners Win]

Who is pumped for the Illini Classic sale?   Is the lack of confirmed dates going to keep prices down?  Higher or lower than last year?

Who is your sale topper?  Over 40k?

[horses first]

Every year there is a upbeat message to get prices higher. Can't believe there is such this year with Arlington. Slots ddont appear to be up and going to next year maybe Sept? Owners can only take so much bs I can't think the prices will be that high. Sale topper I'm sure a few will be bought or bid up enough to get to 40k.

I am hoping you are correct.   Supply is up, slots no closer, covid losses and a lack of confirmed dates would make a logical person say they should be lower.  I got shut out last year so fingers crossed.

Last year prices just plain stupid people paying up for them to be 3 yr olds and that will not pan out. Delong's came back and bought horses. Erv's guys the same. But there is nothing on the trot side other then Lou's L and you never know what Doc is keeping back as Steve S gets to pick from. FV I didn't see what they have to offer and if it's the same mares or if they updated and bought some younger ones. World of Rocknroll a big pass. Nothing to be excited about.

Good luck shopping tomorrow WW. Are u a trot guy or pacer?

[Winners Win]

Thanks!  I buy both gaits but generally stick to pacers in Illinois.  They tend to be able to race against other states after their 3 year old campaign.
