I'm Fancy Like was Stupendous Tonight!!
Quote from Lonnie on August 19, 2024, 10:17 PMMoving up in class into The Buckeye Stallion Series in a 10-horse field (two trailers) at Northfield Park, didn't deter I'm Fancy Like, the little engine that could. She was on the choo-choo to the quarter in 27- and half in 55. Sitting in the pocket, she had enough left to roar up the passing lane, passing the leader (4/5 favorite) in the process.
I love this filly!!

Quote from Bgtolex25 on August 21, 2024, 11:30 AMHip #215 of Ohio Select Sale is her full sister. Wonder if AMac will inspect her?
She could make the Buckeye final with a top placing if they put her in the 5th leg at Delaware. If she were to draw an inside post, then she could get the job done. Delaware is funny, because you definitely see some regression by September. Fancy seems like a tough, consistent one who will continue on.
Good luck to all of you with ownership interest.

Quote from Lonnie on August 22, 2024, 11:55 AMPer Anthony's video from last night, I'm Fancy Like has been entered into the Preferred Equine Online sale this weekend.
I'm sad.
If she doesn't get sold (which would make me glad), she will likely go to Yonkers Raceway, which would make me even gladderer ( 😉 ).
All that said though I have to remind myself of the mantra, "Do not fall in love with your horses". Too late! But, I'll muster my courage to carry on. If she sells, we will have made a nice profit based on what she earned for us.

Quote from Bgtolex25 on August 22, 2024, 1:17 PMI thought of you immediately when I saw the video. She sits somewhere in the 12-15 range in the Buckeye standings with one leg to go…Delaware. The sporting side says to roll the dice, but it is a wise business move to sell now. You do have at least one win picture of her, right?

She had three wins for us. I didn't buy a win photo. I'm saving that for when I'm in the winner's circle. Hopefully one or more times during Jug Week!

Quote from MaywoodAl on August 22, 2024, 7:52 PMI have not caught up on the videos, thanks for the info. The possible sale of Fancy is not something I was anticipating. I wonder what the reserve will be. I am not licensed in NY, which I gather from Anthony's comments of people complaining must be a pain.
Same as you I have not bought a photo, I want to be there in person. In the two years I have been involved I have only seen one of my horses race live. (RR Ajay in the recent Next Gen, but did get to see Aunt Lilly win that night). I've been to a few open houses, missed the last one with all the qualifiers since daughter was moving into apartment for grad school.
Back in 2022 bought into the the two Illinois breds hoping to watch them race in 2023. But a complete revamp of racing dates ruined that.

My friend got licensed in NY the other day in anticipation of her moving there. Fair to be said we all (I'm partners with @factlaw and Carmelo (who has not joined the Forum yet. Shame on him! 😉 ). The cost of licensing in New York is approximately $215.00, which is pretty egregious. We own just one share of I'm Fancy Like (same as on all of the horses we own/split).
I'm hoping that the reserve price is $40,000.00 I'll be keeping an eye on the sale to see how the bidding goes.

Quote from MaywoodAl on August 22, 2024, 8:29 PMThe Ontario license cost was over $200 cnd, I forget how much. I thought the USTA license was also accepted in Canada, I was wrong I got an email from thestable on July 4 about a horse racing that weekend. I must have slipped through the cracks since horses I had, raced in Canada previously. I called the number I was provided if I needed help, I was shocked at price, so called. Shocked that a live Canadian answered and she helped me out. ( I did one part wrong that was going to cost another $70 cnd.
Finished call headed to Hoosier for July 4 and 5 and then to Scioto the 6th for Next Gen.

Hi MaywoodAl,
I too was/still am? under the impression that the USTA and Canadian registrations are reciprocal. Thanks for the alert. I wanted to stick to the Ohio/Kentucky/PA horses because of the favorable licensing conditions and my familiarity with those jurisdictions. If I ever have a horse moved to NY or Canada, then you all can probably buy from me cheap!
Best of luck with I’m Fancy Like’s sale outcome.
