It would be extremely difficult to find a horse in that price range at the Fasig Tipton Calder Sale. That is an extremely high-end sale. Out of the 300 horses in that sale last year, I don't think there were more than 5-10 horses in the entire sale that sold for $40,000 or less. The median price at that sale is $200,000.

It would be very unlikely to find a horse that can run at that sale in that price range. There are plenty of other sales where you could easily find a decent horse in that price range. I've seen plenty of decent horses bought in that price range at the Ocala March Sale, the Ocala April Sale, and the FT Timonium May Sale in Maryland.

Richi,

Thanks. Chuck was refering to a mixed stock sale with broodmare prospects and dispersals in it.. Not the 'big' sale. But I'll let him clarify... I know that Timonium sale is good as Trombetta picks them out of there at bargain prices with alacrity.

I see. I thought you were talking about the other sale.

Roadtrip to Fasig/Tipton sale??? LOL. And will we decide where to race the horse based on paddock and winner's circle size? Once we know how many owners are coming? This is going to be a blast!

I Missed It
 

Will This Be Strictly A Non Raced 2 Year Olds Stable? Any Claiming?

Gee,

No set decision on that.. Chuck is already on the lookout for whatever he believes will be best for us... Might be an un-raced 3 year old (as of next week), might be a claimer... We'll see where we end up over the next month with the investment participation and go from there...

I think we should get (8) 4k claimers and target Arlington Park and the Claiming Crown at Ellis....

:)

oh boy...lol

reminds me of the story about a bloodstock agent, a potential owner, and a vet. agent convinced to buy 20 lowly horses, rather than a couple good ones. spread the wealth, right? add trainer fees x 20--well, he wasn't an owner for long...

how long do we have to decide if we wanna get involved? as most know im already involved as a owner but id like to be a part of something like this with most of you whom ive known for years. i think its a tremendous idea for alotta people to get involved in the game in this aspect who normally wouldnt

JC,

Get people involved that normally can't is the exact conmcept. Ideally, would like to have money together by end of January. We have about 60 interested parties, so I'm confident that we can sell it out pretty quickly.

Sharon my girl, this is the smartest thing you have ever said, I think I should be marketing manager for Dee Tee Stable

Steve, if two of us are going to split a share do you want us to both fill out a form and just send in one payment or should we just put both our names on one form? Thanks.

Your call. You could put Nic's info on the back of the form... or make a seperate copy. (Did that get there today? Went out yesterday!)

Yes it did, thanks! :)

Participation in Dee Tee
 

The canucks are in!!! Can't wait to see everyone. Happy New Year!:cool:

Is anybody interested in splitting a share? If so, PM me. Thanks!

As they say...the check is on the way!

i didn't receive anything yet. steve, did you get my email with my address?

question
 

Just wondering, where would this horse likely be running?
