Random Stable BS

Pretty much had a PERFECT night last night. Met Mark, nice guy, not surprised. Getting ready for a three days/nights in Delaware. Thinking about buying a share or two of Sweet And Steady if the price is right. That was one of Anthony's best drives ever on my stock in 5-6 years of being at TheStable. I emailed him, complimented him. Did you see PERFECT'S runout after the wire? She wants more. And so do I.  🙂

 

    It all comes down.......I know calm down old man. 

It was nice meeting up with Ed, and getting to celebrate in the winner's circle. I'll be on my way out shortly to get a frame for the winner's circle photo.

I initially didn't have a share of Perfect Instead but picked one up on the cheap later on. She certainly looked good and showed another gear when Anthony kicked the plugs. She may have changed my mind about going to Delaware next week and if Bella also goes that may cement things for me.

Ed, I'm having the same thoughts about Saint Serra that you're having about Sweet and Steady.

I did go to Upper Sandusky but didn't stay, maybe it's old age but my patience ran thin after 45 minutes of trying to find a parking spot, so I just headed down to Scioto.

  So I guess The Stable has a new Ohio direction. Buying more Ohio horses at Lexington and less horses this Friday at the Ohio sale. Interesting strategy. Do you think they buy nicer horses this Friday? Or will the prices range from 12k-100k or so? What number will the lowest In Range yearling go for? Might be a good contest. I'll take 47k. And I still think #72 goes for over 100k. Anthony said four horses at the most this Friday. I'll take the over.

I'll take 5 and under, depending on the price. I got two on my list, a pacer and a trotter, which everyone probably has on their list. No In Range on my list tho. I suspect those will be overpaid. Cheapest In Range is probably gonna be around $15,000.

I agree with Anthony tho, he bought way to many Ohio breds (And Pennsylvania breds) so the stable carried the cost of that. Even now a few 2yo's are still for sale.

Congratulations to all the winners yesterday!

My stable has been running cold.  It's been a month since our last win, and the 21 starts since that win have only five second-place finishes and nothing else hitting the board (had a couple of fourth- and fifth-place finishes).

I feel for you, I went through the same thing last month, not one winner in August. I've bounced back a bit this month with a couple of wins already hopefully you'll do the same.

I'm not planning on doing much with yearlings this year since I'll be carrying eight 2 year olds over to next year. But I am interested in one of the homebreds and one horse in Friday's sale caught my eye. I sometimes have the habit of getting in on horses for all the wrong reasons and this could be one of them. I sure most of you know the story of Cloud Rider last year, I had some shares of him and absolutely loved his name. So when I was going through the catalogue and saw the name Cloud Dancing (hip 181) how could I not be interested. She's a Rockyroad Hanover with a very nice pedigree. Some may shy away from her for being by a first crop sire, she's also later in the sale so maybe she could be had at a good price. Even if she doesn't land with The Stable (which I doubt) I'll be looking to see if I can get involved with her.

I'm just looking at the PEI yearling(s) this year. I've got more horses than usual come sale season this year, but it's a good group so I'll take the trade off of limited space for yearlings.

I am in Circleville today and tomorrow.  Not sure of my plans.  Still looking for that fit that makes me happy.

 Way smarter people than me are predicting a down year relative to the robust years of the past few.  Overhead prices, labor shortages, and outside the industry woes are some of factors maybe in play.  

Will revisit in a couple of days.

Thanks!  We don't have a lot of entries coming up.  Monday is our best bet when Memento Mori drops to a claiming level below his purchase price.  I have a feeling he will be exiting, so a win would be imperative.  The purse plus the claiming price would exceed his purchase price.  Mori has been berry berry good for us, though.  Very good!

@bgtolex25, when is your horse coming out of the field?
