Silly question I know, but we are just trying to put a value on our weanling for our partners sake. If you were in the market for a weanling, what would you pay for a colt by Alphabet Soup out of Sweet Maria. I know it is hard without seeing him, he is a tall big bodied colt, offset on his left front, toes in a bit on the left hind. Overall, a good looking boy though. Can anyone even begin to give me a ballpark range?
Thanks
Hypothetical Question- What would you pay for this horse?

That's a bit of a challenge... this mare didn't have her first foal til 9? What did the Strut the Stage go for? http://www.cthsont.com/docs/sales/yearl ... 10/201.PDF
Alphabet Soup's weanlings look like they were selling about $3000, but that's only from 2 in the sales ring last year.
Decent black type on this mare, but I'd say $3000 is what my guesstimate is.

Three blacktype winners and a fourth winner from six foals under the second dam and more blacktype further up makes that mare worth more than what the foal went for, but if you can hold the mare and see if the family can produce more winners the value can only improve.
I'd be inclined to spend a few dollars on some reports and go back four generations and see what worked/did not work and evaluate the entire family instead. The mare is a winner AND there is blacktype in the family and I'd take that over a third generation blue blood that has a dam and grand dam that were unraced even if it were ap indy/storm cat.
