OK I was able to watch most of the stream (while working simultaneously) and I was intrigued by the following. Anyone with opinions, this is your chance to voice them!

Hip 245: nice. Low price?
251: would buy if I had 100K
260: what a looker
273: Only 20K?? why?? :shock:

311: a Mr. Greely for 17K?
329: seemed very upright in hind pasterns, immediately noticed odd back legs in general.
351: again, kinda low price?
374: NOT SURPRISED AT PRICE...think he can be the real deal? Love the breeding.
380: surprised at high price
404: I like Freud...anyone know why 15K sufficed?
and finally, I think 444 was a steal at 25K.

I was aghast at the price for 380. Watch him win the TC and BC Classic, though :wink:

273 might've brought more if Lawyer Ron hadn't fizzled in the Derby and been out injured since. Cheap, unproven sire and nothing much stood out about her (although there wasn't really anything wrong with her, either). In spite of the dam's good record, I wasn't overly surprised at the price. She could turn out to be a good pinhook, though, esp. if her brother comes back strong.

I would assume that most of those who seemed surprisingly low had x-ray or scoping issues.

Ditto, lsb.

Prices were actually quite good overall and reflected the quality more than in the past three years. By good, I mean breeders were rewarded for good stock -- not lottery type reward, but very fair.
