In the game now

[Pedigree Ann]

In case you have given up reading my Schadenfreude thread (and I don't blame you), I have spent the last two days at the Keeneland November sale, trying to buy a broodmare. Finally late in the afternoon on Saturday, I was able to get a good mare in my price range. Half-sister to a G1 winner; dam of 3 winners, 1 placed, from her 4 foals of racing age; in-foal on an early cover. Cold, tedious work waiting while promising mares' prices soared above my maximum, but patience pays. Will be taking the whole family out to the farm where she will board this afternoon to meet my mare; they are all so excited.
