I watched the video (# 151)
I told him $500 was too much. No idea how this yearling was accepted to the sale.
Must have had some serious issues, because a Sweet Lou out of a 1/2 million dollar winning Beach mare is worth a flyer for more than the one person who made a bid at 5 k. Â On paper deserved to be here, but they obviously donât inspect every individual in person. Â This breeder is now out of the business, as Spring Haven was the agent. Â Often, a breeder will pull something that is way below standard individually, especially when from a good pedigree.
Which brings me to the following:
Last night the 2nd foals of the great trotting mares, Atlanta and Manchego, were OUTS. Â Were they underwhelming individually and breeders didnât want a bad perception going forward? Â Or were they a victim of an injury or sickness? Â Or other? Â
Interesting. Could it possibly be a private sale?

The horse is completely deformed.
I be shocked if it ever makes it to a qualifier.Â
