Qualifying Day!
Quote from Grit on June 10, 2025, 5:06 PMZina's bad step was scary. Not sure if the credit goes to Zina, AMac or both. When those legs go under like that, it rarely turns out good. Most looked really good. Better than the Burke brigate. Think he had several breakers.

Quote from Grit on June 10, 2025, 5:15 PMBgtolex25, you know I'm confused. Highest Honors was the only horse I bought on my own. My high end trotter bucket turned into a twofer. Don't Ask Again and Royal Flush Deo. Both were ok but didn't stand out. I know several of you don't like buckets cause it's sight unseen. I get it. Without bucket money there aren't any yearling purchases. Regardless, exciting day all around!

I have been high on Highest Honors going back to our conversation last fall when you pointed out that pedigree, but especially watching him train down. Very shrewd pick up by you. If he is entered, are you coming up for the Next Generation?
What I may do this fall, now that I have a better feel for the process, is buy into an Ohio bucket but turn right around after the sale and sell all but the one or two that I like best. At least I will be local and able to actually see what AMac is buying. My turn around sell price will be at cost…no mark up. Hopefully, there are enough buyers who don’t want to do the bucket but willing to grab onto individual shares.

My heart went to my throat when I saw her head drop, but she recovered so fast that I had to watch it 2 more times to understand if it actually happened. Then she advanced so willingly up the passing lane, as @purple-aura pointed out, I was further perplexed. Very impressed by her and AMac.

Per AMac’s video, the culprit was a loose fitting bell boot. The team owes her some extra carrots.
