My bad for not creating a prediction pool.

My prediction that I posted on a Facebook post was $3,050,000

They're calling it a dispersal sale:

It was a dispersal of that particular partnership, as was most of these high end racehorses.  Interesting note that the previous record holder was Amazing Catch, who was 1.85 million a few short years ago.  Today, he sold for $50,000.

These 1% financial people are playing a different game.  I think that they need tax right offs above all else.

Call me an old sap, but I found this very touching:

From HRU:

The day before, Beau Jangles’ main driver during most of his career, Bob McClure, trekked over six hours across the border to come to Harrisburg and see the big guy one last time, bringing with him a handful of black licorice as a “thank you” for all the horse did on the track.

“I feel very blessed to be the one to sit behind him for that magical season at 2,” McClure told HRU. “It was the ride I will never forget, and the industry grabbed a hold of him, which made it even more special. I’m glad I got to Harrisburg to say thank you and goodbye. I believe he’ll be a great sire, and I look forward to driving his babies.

Bob McClure, despite being dumped out of the bike by the former owners, is true class.  I hope he wins many many more races.  He can start tonight in the 5th race with Nuclear!

Nuclear is in a tough spot, moving up in class and the 11 hole in a 12 horse field. I don't have any objections to Bob driving him but get tired of the merry-go-round of driver changes we have in Ontario.
