Dray you have to love JJs Dream, earner of $1M+!! What an incredible racemare with a huge turn of late foot. My other half saw her race many times in ILL. I like the sire too, Action This Day - it will be interesting to see how his first 2 yo's fare.

I take it you pinhooked this one as a yearling? Nice pick. :)

Well, I like ATD, but he's an unproven new sire, and the mare was impressive, but the female family race record didn't blow me away enough to overlook the match's pedigree--nothing wrong with it, but I like to look for interesting inbreeding patterns, which this one lacks.
That said I know I need more study in determining which crosses work well.
I concentrate more on what blood I like to see duplicated in a pedigree.
Is that one yours? :)

Into My Dreams is my filly's stablemate - an 'okay' filly with a couple of issues. JJ's Dream was agreat racemare, but hasn't really produced much.

How much are you looking for with this one??

Nope, it's not mine. It's Hoby's and I'm not involved, but every now and then (since I have an "in" :wink: )I ask him if he has anything "good". Hoby is my 2YO trainer and consignor for the sales... and I trust his opinion. He mentioned this one is one to look at... and that's good enough for me. I expect this one to show well, and sell well.

Into My Dreams looked nice, with a decent race record. What's you take on her Daisy. Is she racing still? Winning? What level? Good broodmare prospect if they can get some black type on her.

Hi Dray,

I'm not really sure where she is right now - I know she's not at Palm Meadows... perhaps Fairgrounds, but no published works. I'll ask Josie.

She was a training buddy for my filly last summer... an average looking filly (wasn't too expensive as a yearling)... her wins came later on in the year at 7F and 1 1/16M on the poly.... so-so competition she beat, in a so-so time. Not a bad horse, by any means.

Out of the ones you listed I like 3 and 79.

So far the Spanish Steps is my favorite.

38 had no video

Looked to be good. The average was up:

2007: $ 133,656
2008: $ 157,640

Not bad.
