When it comes to buying and selling it's usually pretty cut and dry for me and easy to pull the trigger. In this case I'm kinda conflicted, the money is there but as of now it seems this horse may get me to a level of competition I've never been before, and may not have a chance to get to again. And yes I doubt this offer will be available very long.

And BOOM!  Just like that the share is gone.  A new $5400 (CAD) offer is on the boards now.

I haven't tackled the private market yet.  I get buy low, sell high but the numbers always seem so extreme both ways.  Could be I don't check it out enough.  Maybe the realistic numbers move quickly.  I did see a share about a month ago that peaked my interest.  I went back later in the day and it was gone.  

Yes, some crazy numbers in the market. Someone right now offering to buy a share of Perfect Thought for $50.

And I'll be buying into some of the race horses 

A big component of buying in to racehorses with TheStable is to understand AMac’s philosophy.  If it is a “meat and potatoes” kind of horse, then the horse will be moved when it exhausts the NonWinners level in which the horse is most competitive.  Unfortunately, the market has been a little soft on reselling, so one needs to do the math and get in as early as possible in order to recoup the expenses.  The Open horses might have a longer run out
even if they don’t pan out as Open quality.  Ex. Greatest Ending

Interested in all your opinions on the best strategy of buying into the racehorses.

A new share just landed on the Private Market, $3900 (CAD).

I don't buy for four figures. But I do sell.

Best strategy is to avoid horses I buy. Only Im Fancy Like has been a winner for me. (three others only turned a very small profit) I've been treating this as a hobby, I probably need to get a bit more into analysis.

I think I need to dump horses quicker. I have been hanging on until the horse ends up being sold.

My Achilles heel.  Way too loyal and attached to those I buy in to.  Admiral as a friend and family, but maybe not as an owner.  But to quote the great Popeye, “I am what I am.”

Oh the pain of it all!

Uncle Danny drew a perfect spot.  Tomboy Strong and Highest Honors, not so much 🙁 Post 8 for both of them.  Even Diosa De La Danza drew well in her field.

The New York Connection will not be going to Scioto Downs on Saturday 🙁

@sc-upstate  

Good luck today with Don’t Ask Again in PA Stallion Series.
