Who's in Your Barn?

Again, brilliant strategy by Ed.  Get multiple shares early and sell some before the 2 year old disappoints.  Sadly, the overwhelming majority have and probably will continue to disappoint.  By keeping a share, he hedges against FOMO.  Brilliant!

Sold a share of Looooooooooooooooooooooou today. 1456ca. Keeping the two shares I have left. Will probably sell a share of Perfect Instead for around the same price. Leaving me with two shares.

 

     Niek, Prada looked great with hobbles. Been a little worried about her ( knees?). Anthony keeps comparing Degas to Prada probably because of the same sire. But training down I don't see it. Degas last year training down was okay but never really showed the flashes of speed that Prada has. Degas has really come on though!!! Hoping the same for Prada. 

I think some mannerisms are similar between Prada and Degas. They of course share a sire (But Gymboree was also by the same sire). Prada to me shows more explosive speed in comparison to what Degas showed. Nonetheless with a great race program in Kentucky I am sure she'll have a great season. On a bigger track she might not need hopples but since we are on that small track at Northfield, its better to help her out. She looked amazing with them.

Feeling much better about Prada after today. A little concerned about Perfect Instead's last half. Too fast? She's been behind the gate twice and broke twice going into the first turn. Anthony said he made the same mistake Tyler did. Hopefully those get eliminated going forward. Next Gen sneaking up on us

Wow.  I have a lot of thinking to do on my future involvement.  Options are open.  But that is a nice list because you always have action.

My view on it is I rather have a lot of shares, than a few shares of more %.
Sure if I had 15% of Jailbird I'd be very happy. But I also have had horses not make it to the track. 
Spread the risk so to say, since my enjoyment of the horse is not different between 1%, 10% or 100%.
And I have around 25-35 starts per month, so a lot of racing to watch.
