Lenny consigned a bunch of nice horses this week including the top three of the sale this week.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Leading the way from his Lenny12<\/I><\/B> division was Sherlock <\/B># 14308 a very bad tempered 4 YO colt by Sadler’s Wells out of the stakes placed mare Elemantary by Spinning World.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Elementary won seven of 28 starts and was stakes placed herself before being retired.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has two foals to race and both of them are winners.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Sherlock<\/B> is a long distance specialist and has won a total of four races over both surfaces from 17 starts with his last being in February of this year when he took an allowance race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Narrowly avoiding some rather large horse teeth, Pigeon9<\/I><\/B> still liked what he saw and opened his checkbook to the tune of $3,930,001.00 to take home this stakes placed angry bay colt. Lenny also had the reserve sale topper with # 107682 <\/SPAN> Pigeon and Lenny combined again on the third high priced seller, # 57445 Scout This<\/B>, a pretty copper chestnut by Atticus out of Barb’s Tre Fres by Forty Niner.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Lenny6<\/I><\/B> sent this nine time winner to Pigeon1<\/I><\/B> for $3,300,001.00.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Scout This<\/B> has started 32 times and was graded stakes placed in January of 2007.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last win was in late February of this year and she is the only winning foal of three to race for Barb’s Tre Fres.

Rock Cutter<\/SPAN><\/B> # 23105 trumpeted his way into the ring and certainly got everyone’s attention, including Tazenshag<\/I><\/B> who was the high bidder at $2,325,003.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The dark bay 6 YO stallion by Giant’s Causeway out of an AP Indy mare is a multiple stakes winner including the Grade III Northern Derby in 2005.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Liblelady3<\/I><\/B> consigned this nice horse\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>who has won nine of his 26 starts, the last being in December of last year.
