Default Summerly-Who is going to buy her?

Who do you think will end up with this filly?

One of the major players of course.
Grade one winning mares these days go for insane prices. Moreso grade one winning mares on dirt, moreso grade one winning mares of races like the Kentucky Oaks!!!!!!
Shes gonna cost a bundle.

I don't get it....why would somebody fall for her? I mean, you're probably right, but she was a slow horse in a year of slow horses that won more or less by default.

Does actual ability ever come into play or is it only about the names of races horses win?

Just a wild guess but I will say it will be someone who wears a crescent moon pendant.

Anyone want to take a guess on how much she sells for?

I am guessing 10 million.

Its both, but winning a grade one is never easy. Just ask all the owners who have thrown away millions and millions of bucks and don't have one.
Obviously the ones who are truly fast and well bred bring more cash, but any grade one winning mare is a lottery ticket these days.

It's not easy because there aren't too many....especially restricted ones. That being said, they can call the Kentucky Oaks whatever they want, but she stole that one against a pretty suspect bunch, especially going long and two turns.

But, hey, they way money gets thrown around these days its hard to fathom what is reasonable anymore.

Coolmore or Darley are 8-5 to wind up with her....she is a good broodmare prospect because she is a nice looking mare with a very solid family.....there is an appeal there for the big boys....

I'd say she sells open for $2-$2.5 million...just a guess based on the current market....maybe higher if the big boys really like her and go into a bidding war...

How did this happen? I log onto Derbytrail and find myself watching "The Price is Right." I'll have to check back in November and find out who had the closest bid without going over.

Now I see Sharp Lisa is being sold too. Any other distaffers going straight to auction right after they run their hearts out for their owners? I understand it is a business, but geez. Couldn't they keep them for a bit afterwards. What if one of these fillies wins?

"well folks, this here filly won yesterday and is up for sale today" Isn't that a happy thought?

I LOVE Sharp Lisa as a broodmare moreso than any others in the catalog....she has a tremendous pedigree to be a top producer...I LOVE Dixieland Band mares and her versatility makes her prime bloodstock IMO....

I tried to talk my dad into buying her and breeding her to A.P. Indy or Vindication and then reselling her next November in foal.....he laughed at me when I told him it would probably take $2-4 million to get her and maybe more if she runs well in the BC.....

I really like her too and she has been so versatile on the track.
