Thanks, LB! We actually were also an underbidder on HIP 62 (I think)... it was, a Ghostzapper filly with Soviet Sojourn in the second dam, and 151 who was a grand slam colt. Team Valor bought the first and McPeek bought the second so I guess if you have to miss out on 'em, those are the right kinds of people to lose to, lol

FT Saratoga sales topper
Did anyone get a look at hip #274, the Exchange Rate colt that topped the sale at $250K? I own his 1/2 sister (Alexie) and recently shipped her to Louisiana in foal to Eavesdropper so the foal could be an LA-bred. I am kicking myself now as I should have shipped her to Pennsylvania to drop her foal!

You got outmuscled by a couple of the big guns.
We almost bought that Grand Slam colt's dam in 2003. Just as well we didn't; instead we got a Storm Bird mare who has turned out to be a once in a lifetime mare. We also have a Grand Slam filly this year who's quite nice. When Grand Slams are good, they're very good.
oooooooo someone pass the Kleenex...... I just saw #548 , and while I had hoped the only reason I would have trekked to NY would be as attractive as an Alpo can, it wasn't so. I liked her on paper b/c she's related to mine by the second dam, and now I will be kicking myself in the arse for not going. Though I doubt I would have pushed the price past 5k anyway, being the bargain shopper that I am !! Though now as I type this I may have skated away with #554 !!
Dray, Please tell me these 2 were beyond horrible in person and that my computer distorted their images for the better!!

trying to come up with something brillant..... this may take a while.
hahaha... dray I think your ppl shop way above my nifty thrifty level!! But I am glad you reassure me that images can be misleading, and of course there's nothing like the living breathing 3d version!
I really wanted to see that filly's movement more but she seemed like she was only going to take a few steps at a time before contemplating rearing every time. So in my mind I have convinced myself I missed out on nothing and that she probably only had 3 good legs anyway!!
This just means I'll have more pennies for Kee and MidAt!!

Awesome CT thanks for the added input. She never would face the camera well so all I could really see where side shots. Now I really don't feel bad at all!
I like Tactical Cat and I also like Tomorrows Cat, who I guess got shipped to Europe to stand. Some of the Tomcats went higher than I expected too. But things go certain ways for a reason, and now I can't wait for KEE.
