Hip 595 - this is the best deal on paper I've seen in a long time - depending on what they actually want for this guy. Anybody out there who knows what the problem is? By Bernardini no less.

RNAd for $17,000
Re: Kee - hf to German hwt
I was curious about that also. I had been keeping track of him because he has the same dam's sire as my colt. I was very surprised he went for so little.
Re: Kee - hf to German hwt
I think a few things worked against him. Protectionist showed his brilliance at long distances which goes against most US buyers who want speed speed speed. He has a pedigree pretty much unknown in the states. We also don't know how he looked...being a March foal he may have been a little immature.
Re: Kee - hf to German hwt
I dunno. He couldn't have been that bad, going so early in the sale.
