lexington sale under way

Amac bought, I think a trotter, on Monday and paid $80K. He then said he had the horse valued at $175-$180 so we now have 2 types of people:

1. The people that invest who think Amac is really sharp and
2. The people who know better that the horse was only worth $80K as not 1 of basically the best, knowledgeable people did not think the horse was worth bidding $81K.

My take is this is another proof where Amac knows his 1% crowd are sheep and swallow anything he says while he continues to try to play and drive with the big boys with other peoples money

there's one thing that is absolutely free though

the rent in your empty head

rent free 24-7-365

Trot gurus Ake, Marcus and Takter sitting back, shaking their heads and watching A. Harris bidding against himself.. a classic side-eye showcase in Lexington.

I am hearing Andrew spent 200K more on a lot of horses just bidding against himself because he didn't know any better.  SUCKER

If you find the time to comment could you at least point out where I am wrong rather than making what you think is some cute reply

Harris and Pollock also bought the day’s third-highest seller, trotting filly Che Bella, for $400,000. The daughter of Bar Hopping-New Wave is a three-quarter sister to 2023 Dan Patch Award winning filly Bond, with Dan Patch Award recipients Bella Bellini and Pizza Dolce also in her family. She was consigned by Kentuckiana Farms and bred by Al Libfeld. She is Pennsylvania and Kentucky eligible.

“My son (Billy) wanted that one the most,” Pollock said. “We saw the video and liked the way she looked, a big bruiser. He really loved that horse.”

Pollock purchased 15 horses through the first two sessions of the sale for a total of $5.1 million.

“We wanted 15 horses, that was our goal,” he said. “We bought 11 fillies. I think we’re going to branch into the breeding a little bit down the road in the future. We want to have some broodmares. I want to have an ongoing business to pass down someday to my son. The prototypes are the Diamond Creeks, the Brittany Farms, Crawford Farms. I just love those types of things. That’s our goal, to maybe do a smaller version of that, but have something ongoing. This way, you at least have a future going forward.”

BTW, totally unrelated---sale related---did anyone notice...

The breeding to Karl was withdrawn from the sale. Not sure if it's still live, but on the auction board it said "Withdrawn".

Did anyone else notice?

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