Buckeye sale in Springfield

#1 · October 7, 2025, 8:03 AM

Well…if the first sale in early September was the “scratch and dent” sale, this one may be the “lottery investment”. There are typically some major Ohio stake winners who come from here, but you really have to pick through a lot of them to find the nice looking ones. So many beautiful trotters are here, but, my wallet is being grouped in with the pacing colts. Will be satisfied if we get a nice fair campaigner. Will update you all on my hunt sometime later today or tomorrow

Irresistible Son’s 1/2 brother by In Range is, I believe, current sales topper at $60,000. He has been a real handful for the handlers.

WOW!

Where are the crowds?

Crowd thinned out very late, but my pictures close to ring were a little misleading. It was fairly robust up until they got to #200 or so.

Incredibly, I failed to get a picture of my purchase within the Nisonger Stable. Mainly, I didn’t know for sure that I would get a % until after the fact. He was my #2 pacing colts in the sale, so I am happy that it worked out. Hip 133, a Monte Miki colt out of a stakes winning Somebeachsomewhere mare. $25,000…still finalizing details on ownership percentages, but it likely will be 20-25%.

The Monte Mikis at all the sales were gorgeous. Let’s hope that they race as well as they look. If they do, then the prices next year will be untouchable for common folks like me.
