Brutal to watch. @purple-aura needs to come correct with some winning tickets in Delaware (and let his friends ride the picks).

When I hear buckets, it reminds me of the 5 gallon buckets of beer for $8 served at Papa Joe’s on High Street just off the Ohio State campus in the 80’s.  Often resulted in a similar outcome that we saw in the video.

So far, the buying on TheStable buckets are going slow.

              Haven't looked at a lot of the sale. I do like hip number #55. Love the Purple Sona video. I hope she ends up in the filly bucket. I will ask for extra. The Sweet On Pete dam is #93. 

             Hard to bet Jug week. Chalk everywhere. I just want a Jolene pic on Monday or Emerald Tom on Tuesday. I've pitched a shutout this year. Just call me Skubal. 

             Loved Monty Python. When my niece was at Western Michigan about ten years ago she called her mom and said we saw the weirdest movie last night. Her mom asked what movie and she replied Monty Python and the Holy Grail. MY sister in law says that's one of your Uncle Ed's favorite movies. My niece says " that figures "  :):)

    Ok, it's Wednesday Addams time. Good luck all.

Already, someone has posted a trotting filly bucket for $10,000 on private market, when there is still 91 shares available at $1,100.  Just for kicks and giggles, I would love to hear the reasoning.

Still several days to go on bucket sales, but I don’t think it would be the worst scenario to scale back the # of purchases and emphasize more racehorses within the roster.  We will see what happens if the demand isn’t as robust as last year.

That might have been me. Think I listed it at 9,999. Why? My misguided youth. 🙂

One never knows.  All it takes now is one accidental click, and you hit the lottery!

       I did it out of spite. I see so many moves like that. You actually have 24 hours to change your mind if you miss click. Maybe confusing a buy for a sale. Happened to me once. Thought I sold a horse and the person changed their mind. 

    Anyone buying buckets? What's Team NY up too? Is Team NY Yankee or Mets fans? Giants or Jets? 

   Also Norm and Bear you've both mentioned you don't like a horse racing much at two. Anthony had two horses he laid off early because they weren't mature. Yet he liked both a lot. Solidarity was one, and that horse is gorgeous. I think Leland Hanover was the other. Did you guys buy shares of either of those two? I think they're both PA pacers.

Your top girl is now a mama.  I think that AMac referenced a sibling at Ohio Select sale (#127)that he had high interest.  An In Range filly.  If she looks decent, then she will go north of $50k…I predict.

Just noticed that the Purple Aura family hails from a BF Coaltown mare that came from Charlie Hill’s Hill Farm, where I got much of my education and enthusiasm for the industry back in the 80’s.

See Ed, we are like kindred spirits.  College football loyalties not withstanding.
