Ten Year Old Brings Top Dollar<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Auction 3889<\/SPAN><\/B>:\u00a0 <\/SPAN>One hundred fewer horses entered the sales ring this week and seven horses sold for more than a million dollars.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Interestingly, the top seller was a 10 YO stallion, Reflected Glory II,<\/B> and he went for a dollar less than three million. All seven sold within a two million dollar window.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The senior citizens did very well this week with nine of the 31 offered selling for more than a dollar.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The top seller among them was also the top seller of the sale and will be discussed later in this article.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

My favorite for buy of the week was #139094 Le’ Go My Bago<\/B>, a lovely 4 YO dark brown filly by Bago out of Moscow Eagle (Moscow Ballet).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She’s won eight of her 28 starts and six races within the past year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She also comes with a nice starter tag of $3,500 and Bruin18<\/I><\/B> stole this filly for only $1,002. She is probably hoping for a forever home as she has changed hands about eight times in her life.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here are this week’s auction stats.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

The Top Five Millionaires:<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Reflected Glory II <\/SPAN><\/B># 26667 is a handsome, bright chestnut stallion by Storm Cat out of a Seattle Slew mare.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As buyer Champions7<\/I><\/B> told me, he is always willing to spend some of his money to pick up a horse with this kind of breeding and although Glory’s last win was in the fall of ’07, he has won 10 of his lifetime 48 starts and is a four time stake’s winner.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The 10 YO horse was consigned by Rokeby <\/I><\/B>and brought $2,999,999.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Hip number 84849, AP Juicy<\/B> is another well bred horse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The 5 YO grey horse by AP Indy and out of a Silver Ghost mare has won only two of his 21 starts and could have been claimed for as little as\u00a0 <\/SPAN>$2,500 last year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Juicy comes with a much higher starter tag now but he looked good to Olympiafie<\/I><\/B> and he was willing to spend $2,500,000.00 to take him home.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I would be surprised if Squirrel<\/I><\/B> was unhappy to see him go.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Eddy Street<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:address><\/st1:Street> #117759 was a consignee of trainer Decolex <\/I><\/B>and sold for $2,210,003.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The 3YO good looking bay colt is still a maiden and hasn’t shown much to this point but he has a lot of time to improve.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He is by Sadler’s Wells out of a Kingmambo mare and Kevoman<\/I><\/B> has a great eye for a horse and was thrilled to take him home.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

If they don’t fit into Dixiedotco’s<\/I><\/B> program, they are quickly sold and several of his have gone on to become nice horses.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>No one is prouder of them when they do well then <\/SPAN>Dixie<\/SPAN><\/st1:place>, even if they do belong to someone else.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Gipper<\/I><\/B> paid $2,134,567 for #155784 Barker Dam<\/B>, a light boned 3 YO bay filly by Gone West.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is still a maiden but finished second last time out with a 20 point jump in her speed figure and that is always a good sign.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is out of the Sadler’s Wells mare Joshua Tree who only won four races herself, but\u2026. she is the dam of five foals to race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>One is a stake’s winner, one is graded placed, and one is a graded stakes winner. <\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Consigned by Amazon2<\/I>, Tornado Tom<\/B> #112659 sold for $1,650,000 to trainer Deadman<\/I><\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The 5 YO brown stallion is a four time winner by <\/SPAN>Saratoga<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> Six out of a Tank’s Prospect mare.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN>He has won his last two and is lightly raced with only 23 starts in his three years on the track.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Deadman liked the way he looked and signed the ticket to take him home.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

The Auction Seen:\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Louisville<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> weather was a toss up and one minute the sun was out and the next it was looking like it would pour buckets.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I arrived in the sunshine and walked into a crowded seating area with my friend Trotter<\/I><\/B> and Mikeomaha<\/I><\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>We joined a great group in front of the fire consisting, among others, of Kingab, Lenny,<\/I><\/B> and Fabman<\/I><\/B> who was telling tales of his bowling tournament over the weekend and making us all laugh.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Kirby<\/I><\/B> came by with a lady on each arm and Given<\/I><\/B> was right on his heels, trying to wrangle an introduction\u2026.. to either of them.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Poolshoota<\/SPAN><\/I><\/B> called Pocket8<\/I><\/B> but got Pizzaman <\/I><\/B>instead which was ok with Tsunami<\/I><\/B> and Pamela<\/I><\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Aviero<\/I><\/B> and Pilot<\/I><\/B> came by with Chicago09<\/I><\/B> who was looking a bit bewildered by Castle<\/I><\/B> who was in the middle of everything with Snakebite<\/I><\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Goldhorse<\/I><\/B> and Thebay <\/I><\/B>were waiting their turns down by the ring and Sapper<\/I><\/B> was talking with Glitters <\/I><\/B>who was selling a bunch.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He was probably trying to get the inside track on some of the consignments.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Plowguy<\/I><\/B> took some time out from spring planting and joined Firerun<\/I><\/B> at the backgate to get a closer look at some of the offerings.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>All in all it was a fun afternoon and there were some bargains to be had.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Even though it was raining when we left for the races I think everyone had a good time.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Good Luck with you auction purchases.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
