Who would be your #1 pick at the Lexington Yearling Sale

[darnoldrocks]

Check out the videos and pedigrees and tell us who you would purchase and why???

I'll start it.

Hip 63   Jarlsberg       Walner colt out of Manchego.  (her 2nd foal)   What a Mom!!!
- video: he is a good size and really nicely gaited up front

[Harness racer]

Will take a lot to live up to expectations with that blood line.  Might bring $800k+

[darnoldrocks]

The expectations and price will be super high with Hip 88 as well.   Top Gun
Another monumental mare and high end sire !!

[Grandstand Handicapper]

Well, he won't be the sales topper, and he's by a $12k stud (in his first year, and is lower now)----and I didn't see him last time I was at the farm-----but Steve Jones has got a colt by Tactical Approach out Venerable selling on day two (I think).

I don't shop at that end of the market, LOL, but I do look at all the royally bred yearlings for many reasons. I haven't seen the colt, but I am interested to see what Walner colt out of Manchego looks like.

I don't shop at that end of the market either, but this is my favorite time of year.   I look at as many videos and pedigrees from Lexington, Pennsylvania and London.
I always make notes what I like and don't like about a video.   I'm very interested in what other folks see or look for, that I don't.
Personally I look for some energy in the video.   I like the start of a big ass and big chest.  I like a horse that lands square in the front, feet not landing narrow and I don't like when they really flip their front feet out to the side.

I LOVE THE FIRST DAY  ALL THE BIG SHOOTERS COME OUT

EVERYONE WITH FUCKYOU MONEY HAS TO SHOW IT,,

Could be. $800k would put him just outside the top 5 highest priced trotting yearlings ever sold. Ironically, IIRC, only two of the top five were fillies.

Ok, that explains the anti Mike sentiment of yours.

Actually, not at all.

I stopped looking at yearlings I knew I couldn't afford in the 70's, why waste the time. I spend time at the farms, watching videos and sales looking for what I want, not dreaming. All I wanted was ROI.

When you were buying a yearling, what did you look for in the videos or seeing them at the sale?

I am curious about people's ideas on the correlation of purchase price to purse winnings. Thoughts?

I love to see a mare that knew how to win, but I'm more interested in the capabilities of her previous foals.  (especially same sex and or same sire)
