Thx for the info.  I saw this but I wonder how much advanced intel that A Mac provides prior to the sale.  If it was me, then I would be coy about who I was interested.  So I think it will be fun to get my list together independently and see how much we match.  I guess that stems from my breeding farm history.  Awesome that we all have enthusiasm, even if it comes about via different route!

I imagine that he won't post who he's interested in, but we will know as soon as he makes a purchase.  I assume that shares will become available for purchase shortly after.

Does anyone know if the price of yearling shares are different then when they become 2 year olds?

I was studying the prices this spring, and they seem to go up to cover each month’s training and ancillary fees.  So the cheapest you can purchase a yearling is at the original sale price.  After that it will go up each month.  I know what Fireandshine was in April and how much the public price is now, for example.  This makes sense to me from a fairness standpoint.

 

Now the private offerings are totally “market” driven, although the prices are exorbitantly speculative in my opinion.  If you multiply the price offering by 100, then you can see the relative value (or pie in the sky speculation).

I will likely stick to only buying at the time of original purchase.  Knowing me, I will also never try to sell.  I’ve been known to be too loyal at times.

I saw once that Anthony posted a stable wide message about an interest of one party wanting to trade one share of horse A for a share of horse B.  I assume that most parties considered them of equal value.  A hypothetical because I am not fortunate enough to have shares in Arson or Timeisonmyside.  But say that I had 2 shares of Arson and you had 2 shares of Timeisonmyside, then maybe we could swap a share to broaden our chance to win….The Jug!

That makes sense to me, thank you for the explanation.

As for private offerings, I must check two or three times every day.  Once in a while I will see a listing for much less than I think the horse is worth, and less than other offerings on said horse.

That’s good to know.  I likely was only focused on the 2 year old prices this spring and summer.  The other thing that trips me up is the Canadian price listing when the majority of the horses were purchased in the US either at a yearling sale (except for the London sale and others?) or the Online or Preferred sales.  Those are all listed in US dollars.  I have to remind myself to compare apples to apples.

C'mon down!  We'll save a seat for you!

I am remiss in not naming who my partners in the horses that we own.  I am partners with @factlaw and with another who hasn't joined this Forum yet.  I'll divulge once he joins.

Let's send him some encouragement to join.

We now own 11 horses.  They are:

That’s a great variety of horses! I wish I lived in the States so I could buy into these Ohio and Pennsylvania horses!

You just have to register with the United States Trotting Association and you will (should) be able to purchase any horse from the Stable.ca Private Buying Marketplace.

Down to just one…the newly acquired Casanova Hall.  I think that he makes his Stable debut this Friday in TSS at the Meadows.   Can’t wait for the fall yearling sales.

Congratulations on the Show Dough!  But, two breaks in a row.  Imagine if he stays flat??

Uh oh... INQUIRY on Casanova Hall.  NO Changes.
