Open House Open Thread
Quote from Lonnie on December 28, 2024, 12:44 PMSet #5
Nothing really eye-catching, I thought, in the fifth set. A few horses were looking good, and then when asked a little they broke stride.
Aunt Sara probably looked the best of the bunch.

Perfection Hanover scratched. He's running a fever of 103°.
Solidarity looks spectacular warming up!
ACDC looked kind of clunky-gaited until the last three-eighths when he was asked and gosh he took off and looked very fluid doing it.
Solidarity made a few breaks the last half mile when it looked like he was just gearing up to make a move.

Quote from Lonnie on December 28, 2024, 2:08 PMAfter watching ACDC, we purchased a share from TheStable.ca.
And, I posted a private offer to purchase Judys Moni, and that offer was accepted a few minutes earlier!

Quote from Grit on December 28, 2024, 5:45 PMHunter Myers had the line of the day, "babies being babies". Stay healthy and do your work. There's hundreds of miles between today and crunch time. Of course we'll all have horses that catch our eye. I just love watching the progress as a group each time there's a drone video.

Quote from pcmark15 on December 29, 2024, 12:21 PMSome simple and probably meaningless observations by a small time owner.
The weather here in northwest Ohio can be very different than that in the Cleveland area but based on what I've seen here today it was the right decision to move The Open House, it's been a downpour all morning.
Moving the Open house up a day on short notice definitely impacted attendance, I didn't count heads but I'm guessing about 50 people and probably less than ten people in the barn after the sets.
During the early sets there were a lot of other horses on the track and our horses seemed to stay focused and did there work.
In the future I could see Tyler Angus driving regularly for The Stable ca.
Amy looks much more comfortable, her horses did well.
Trying to figure out if Taviyon Hanover is off the waiver wire.
I'm still looking to add a couple more babies and I'm not sure if watching these sets makes the decision as to which ones easier or harder. I have my eye on a few but that's for another thread.

Quote from Grit on December 29, 2024, 1:13 PMTotally agree with your Amy observation. AMac challenged her last year to be more aggressive. Would love to see her go a training mile with my horses. She's a huge part of the operation when it comes to the yearlings. Was also very impressed watching her inspect the horses at the Lexington sale. She was (hopefully still is) really high on Royal Flush Deo. We'll see ....

Quote from Bgtolex25 on December 29, 2024, 1:43 PMI haven’t watched all the Open House video yet, but I was impressed with Jason McG. And the mediators are always a good addition to the broadcast. I would love to hear more from Amy too, but I dare say that AMac needs to be absent at the time. His enthusiasm and energy can overwhelm those who need more reflecting time before speaking. It is difficult for those types to keep up with how fast he articulates his many thoughts.
