I haven't looked at the catalog.  I'll wait to see the horses in training in the Spring.

  Grape Crush out of Purple Sona. MARSEILLE as a sire?  Second year sire. Stable bought two of them last year, one of them talented enough to be the Next Generation nominee. Both had bad knees though. We will see.

For the right price Rip Tide BB (Downbytheseaside), first foal out of Onthego BB but grand dam Challo BB and foals have produced a long list of good money makers.

For anyone who has looked through the entire catalogue, does anyone have any favorites? Or horses they hope TheStable purchases? 

Did anyone buy into the “buckets”?  I didn’t this year, which is my first yearling sales season.  I had hoped to have my list somewhat ranked, and then jump in when AMac purchased one of my choices.  It was part of my entertainment with TheStable.  But with the bucket system you get assigned after the fact.  I understand the why behind the process but it isn’t for me.  Hopefully, there will be an Ohio trotting filly available when it is all said and done.

If you are a current client, you can participate in a survey that Kelly put out this week.  It gives everyone an opportunity to share thoughts.  

Best of luck to everyone this fall, especially if you are fortunate to have a youngster in any big stake races.  It feeds the dreams for finding the “next” one.

I didn't buy any buckets.  I'll wait until the Spring and watch them school.

I like Amy's idea of it being more specific.  Defiantly not a horseman but there is something to seeing what you buy.  Can't wait to go to the Lexington sale and absorb it all!

Enjoy your trip.  Hopefully, you can connect with AMac and get comfortable with the process and his methodology.  He said that he has a good size group meeting up for Ohio inspection day, so I suspect that it will be similar in Lexington.

I too liked Amy’s thoughts on narrowing the buckets.  Between that concept and being on site and learning from AMac and others, then it would be easier for me to buy into a future purchase.  Hopefully next year!

Lexington is amazing. If you hang around Anthony and Amy they are very nice and accommodating. But you have to realize they're there for business. Fasig Tipton to me is just as historic as Red Mile or Keeneland. The grounds there are just so perfect. 

 I also liked Amy's idea on the buckets. It was sort of like that a few years ago. Anthony would visit these farms before the sale and look at the yearlings. Make videos for us of his visits. Eventually make a video for clients on the yearlings he was serious about. We filled out a form on the yearlings we liked and how many shares you might want. I'm guessing this didn't give Anthony enough security in purchasing. It became the buckets and money up front after that. The bucket system works pretty well I'm sure it can be better. 

I have two shares of the elite bucket horse. Hopefully I'm in Lexington for the Stakes Finals next Sunday. Then the Jug. Lilly and Freedom Hill in their finals. Then Lexington. Love this time of the year!!!

There's a very good chance that we will be joining you in Lexington next Sunday for the Sire Stakes Finals.  

I'm so excited for Jug Week with the added bonus of hopefully seeing a few of my horses race.  And if I can be bold enough to ask the racing God's to grant a wish, to be able to stand in the Winner's Circle with one (or dare I wish) or more of my horses.  Which are hopefully some of yours too.
