A ??? Dollar Horse
What will $3500 buy you at the sales these days?
Still smokin' at whoever that was that was bidding against me in increments of 100s starting at the $1,500 level, but presently I'm grinning ear to ear at the pedigree page of the youngster blazing around my paddock. Take a look:
Dams:
AURORA (Danzig) $285,236 7 wins at 3 and 4 and 4 foals with black type and dam of ARCH
ALTHEA (Alydar) $1,275, 255 8 wins at 2 and 3.
SEA BREEZER (Gulch) $142, 980 and dam of SHORE BREEZE. Whoops. She also foaled one which won $1,500,00 in Japan.
LAKEVILLE MISS (Rainy Lake) $371,582 Champion 2 yr old filly and 7 wins at 2 and 3. Dam of Mogambo.
RAPUNZEL RUNZ (Explodent) $244, 266 and 6 wins at 3 and 4.
HIGHLAND GYPSY (Our Native by Exclusive Native) $151,598 and 9 wins at 3 and 4
Sires:
DANZIG (twice)--world's leading sire how many times in late '80s and '90s? Watch Danzig's few races on You Tube and be impressed.
GULCH--$3,095,521 Breeder's Cup Classic
KRIS S--think Brocco, Action This Day, Hollywood Wild Cat. Prized, and Symboli Kris S, Horse of the Year twice in Japan.
ARCH--7-5-1-0 and $480,969 before they hurt him.
EXPLODENT--in the '80s I saw Explosive Bid and Explosive Wagon live. 'Nuff said.
So far, do you think my boy might run a little? Of course this leaves the two unraced dams which would be "the" dam RUNNINOUTTAREASONS (Arch) who must have sold a for a bunch as a yearling, but went for $18,000 in Ocala as a 2 year old. And the third dam by English Horse of the year Sir Ivor who was unraced but had a couple of $250,000 earners as foals.
And, SHORE BREEZE the sire won (only) $152, 948 and 4 races. You get the name connection--Lakeville Miss--Sea Breezer--Shore Breeze.
Impressive by any standards? I'd think! The muffled little raps sounding in the background would be RR patting himself on the back at correct on the fly decision making in selection of the catalogue page, getting Max the bidder under control, recognizing the horse on the tiny screen with the 30 second delay, and going to $3500 for the youngster "blazing around my paddock".
