Two year olds as of July 1st.
Quote from Purple Aura on July 14, 2025, 10:03 PMI'm not really pissed. I just think it's going to be one of those years where we get no breaks. The racing gods are fickle bunch. Like the Brady's 🙂 Marcia Marica Marica

It surely wasn't my expectation.

I don't think it's that big a shocker. The two year old market runs hot when horses get good or are talked up by Anthony. Also our three year old " athletes " rarely return to their previous form. I wish you guys well going forward with Mori.
If you're in this to stay around even sell them late at two or early after their season is over. If you aren't have fun, enjoy the ride. There's no wrong answer everyone is different.

I was thinking about this as the strategy for this year. It makes no sense to carry the horses and accumulate bills. And, like you said, NONE of our two year olds came back well at all.
We're still having fun. Though there's a dark shadow hanging over us lately. And likely, many others.

Quote from Bgtolex25 on July 21, 2025, 7:15 AMWatching the replay of Tomboy running at the 5/8 pole was disheartening. Good luck tonight in the BSS. In the one snippet of a video that I have watched, AMac said he was agitated (maybe not the exact term). He will come out firing with the babies….right now, I would just like to see them pass someone in the stretch.

Quote from Purple Aura on July 21, 2025, 8:29 AMI'm glad he said he's moving Tomboy down to BSS. If I knew that I might not have sold. Last year I had Lilly and Freedom Hill. Had a excellent year and winning the Next Gen was my favorite moment in my Stable history. BUT midway into their two year old seasons last year it's obvious they were nice but Burke had three we couldn't beat. I emailed Anthony his reply was " they're stake horses ". Maybe they are, but what I read into his reply was his ego was part of that statement. He wanted them in the OSS. Lilly made over 100k and Freedom Hill made mid 70's I think. Excellent seasons. But they could have made more dropping into BSS making the finals there and racing in the OSS consolation. Maximizing earnings should be the goal and I think his ego got in the way a bit. It's a fine line, everyone in the game has ego. That ego has driven Amac and created this Stable thing we all enjoy. It's a fine line. I'm glad to see him recognize earlier Tomboy needs to drop down to BSS. This will be a positive thing going forward.
