Right now all they have on-line is an excel file listing the entries.

The catalog is supposed to be on-line by the 15th.

And then I think they said they'd have the photos (for the select session only) available online by August 1st.

What do you guys think about hip 48? He's the one that caught my eye.

Did you get a look at the sale topper and the 2nd highest? What did you think of them?

saw the storm cat filly who went for 1.5 mill. Nice looking, not WOW, but nice. Good demeanor on her. She was as calm as can be, and the auctioneer even made note of that. They also made note that she would be one of Storm Cat's last few to help raise her price, and it worked. They were just teetering at 1 - 1.5 mill.

The sales topper was certainly deserving from what I could tell (from sitting in the balcony, lol) but he was really wound up in the ring. Naturally, there was a lot of noise when he was in the ring too, so they actually had to ask everyone to quiet down while he was in there. The whole scene became so dramatic after that because you could practically hear a pin drop and they were already up to 1.5 or so at that point.

On a slightly smaller scale...got two new fillies...hips 14 (at that price I think/hope we got a bargain) and 155 (got her privately after she RNA'ed). Hoping we got two good buys!

And now the Keeneland books are out, so there go several hours of my life in the near future, lol.
