This is also why I like buying two original shares. You can possibly have the best of both worlds. You sell at an amazing price and still ride the wave of possible greatness. 

I like that strategy.

That's exactly how I bought my share of Perfect Thought, last year I bought two shares of Gorgeous Package $150 CAD for both shares. Sold one earlier this year for $1400 CAD and used the money to buy Perfect Thought $1300 CAD, if it wasn't for that I highly doubt I would own a share right now.

As for the money being thrown around for her right now I guessing some people are looking passed her racing career and are looking at her potential value as broodmare and having a piece of any of her foals.

After giving it some thought last night I decided to sell, I went back to accept the offer but it was gone, but there was an offer up for $7000. I tried to execute the sale for $7000 but it wouldn't work, when I refreshed the page the offer was gone, I must have been a few seconds late.

Hang in there Mark, more offers will come. Excellent job with Gorgeous Package. Nice parlay.

Wow, she's back in the NJSS Friday night in a non-betting three horse race.

I wonder how purse is split for that. Winner get the extra or weight it between the three based on 50/25/12? (if NJ uses those percentages)

In a three-horse harness race, the purse (the prize money) is typically split among the top three finishers in the following way: 
  • First Place: 60% of the purse.
  • Second Place: 28% of the purse.
  • Third Place: 12% of the purse.

Mark, good luck tonight.  This slow roll into later stiffer competition and in a smaller barn may serve her well.  Watching Megan care for Tactical Mounds last year at Delaware impressed me.  She will know every bump on this filly.

Thanks, I'm hoping she can put a nice ending on a rather lackluster week for The Stable. I'm expecting Scott to put a nice mile on her without overextending her, no need for that tonight. I am kind of surprised so many of the trainers opted to give their horses the week off going into the finals, but sometime it works sometime it doesn't, especially with 2 year olds.

I'm still torn on whether to sell or not, I think I've flip flopped just about everyday for the past week, we'll see how many offers roll in this week and how big they are..

Glad it was a non taxing win for her.  Is it a $100,000 final next week?

According to her staking schedule it's $240,000.

Couldn't have asked for a better trip and outcome tonight.
