She should be worth more if the off-spring are good.<BR/><BR/>So is a stallion with good off-spring worth less than one half his age with no off-spring?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599312760559393858.post-30998437810030062702009-01-12T19:09:00.000-05:002009-01-12T19:09:00.000-05:00Paulson has more money than brains!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599312760559393858.post-65722965919777254002009-01-12T17:07:00.000-05:002009-01-12T17:07:00.000-05:00There are some great, great deals. And they're practically giving away the open mares. If you're willing to take a shot on a nice mare with no reproductive problems other than coming up empty for this year, you can get her bred early to the stallion of your choice, and hope the market picks up by the time you're ready to sell as a yearling. It's also a great market for breed-to-race folks who wish to improve their broodmare band.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599312760559393858.post-53996795593242034822009-01-12T16:58:00.000-05:002009-01-12T16:58:00.000-05:00There's no doubt this is a buyers' market on the mare end.Pete Denkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06989887522791571581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599312760559393858.post-75798173183849380682009-01-12T15:48:00.000-05:002009-01-12T15:48:00.000-05:00I have been watching on-line and have been dismayed that a couple of mares with nice pedigrees that are pregnant, have not gotten any bids.Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02829012266090685457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599312760559393858.post-28557510762758938132009-01-12T12:51:00.000-05:002009-01-12T12:51:00.000-05:00I did not look at many yearlings presale. Hip 25 was one of the few I have notes on, a nice Tapit filly without a ton of pedigree. She went for $150,000.<BR/><BR/>So, there is certainly still a good market for nice individuals by a hot sire.Pete Denkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06989887522791571581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599312760559393858.post-52296567710872350972009-01-12T12:30:00.000-05:002009-01-12T12:30:00.000-05:00How are the yearlings selling in comparison to the mares?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599312760559393858.post-61425230644691172272009-01-12T10:21:00.000-05:002009-01-12T10:21:00.000-05:00Should be a good week for bargain hunters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
