Hip # 2858 Mr. Hot Stuff, Colonel John's full brother, stakes placed would love to see him in PA........anyone interested in buying him and standing him here???? I think he'd do well as a breed to race stallion.

Been looking at the stallions being offered for some reason. I see Omega Code and David Copperfield are being "let go". CP West, Drum Major, Timber Reserve, and Birdbirdbirdistheword are there. One interesting one is #4071 Pellegrino.

Pellegrino (Brz) is interesting as are the others.

I've always been intrigued by David Copperfield as a breed to race stallion...though certainly not for sprinting on the dirt! Will he be attractive for a regional market with turf racing?

This sale should be eye opening to track and see what market corrections are or are not the result.

I guess maybe he would, but me personally I'd rather start from scratch with a stallion prospect instead.

DC has very few foals... I don't see anyone wanting to pay much for him.

Omega Code still has a shot.

I have noticed many mares being bred to Wilko.... what am I missing? Yes he was durable and made over 2 million. But his race career just seemed to have so many losses. 3 for 29 I believe. So why so much business as an unproven stallion?

90% if his book were Adena mares. Adena, at their height, had like 800 mares. They have enough to go around to all their new stallions.

And they're closing Adena South were he stood so they need to move some horses.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes that explains much. Well, I have some faith in them so perhaps he'll be a better sire than I think! But I'm not counting on it . . . :wink:

my first

There are seven books in the set for this sale. Mine arrived via UPS in a box. I think you can call Keeneland Sales and have them send you the books. For a real "steal" I think you would concentrate on books 5, 6 and 7.
