Default One Hot Wish to be sold
Jill Byrn just reported that One Hot Wish - the filly that broke the world record for 4.5 furlongs - will be sold Tuesday at Keeneland. She is consigned by Eaton Sales. Good luck to everyone.

If I was the owner, she couldn't have gotten to that sale fast enough, hell, I probably would have sat outside with her and said "SILENT BID for your WORLD RECORD HOLDER"

Based on the performances from Wesley Ward's horses in Florida, and their confusingly low odds race after race, I wouldn't take ANY horse from him.

The over/under on career races for this particular horse feels like 3 1/2.

I bet she could be had privately for about $500k. And, it'd only be that high becasue the sheiks are behind you.

I saw the same BTW. Ward didnt do much in Florida and all of a sudden he is popping 2 year olds right and left in KY and Cali. Most of these are homebreds or at least he owns part of the horse. Something isnt sitting right with me on this.

Actually Ward had a huge meet, especially in percentage terms, at Gulfstream and one race after another horses were being dramatically overbet and winning with ease.

this is absolutely positively no surprise, if it were opposite then it would be a story...he is crooked, no doubt, none, zero

It's not a colt, so I can't see big, famous money having testosterone-feuled ego battles over ownership.

What is the reserve on a filly of that breeding, with only the "possibility" of a graded-stakes resume before she hits the shed?

Be interesting to watch and see if she meets the reserve.

this horse is better bred than people realize.
obviously i am a real big fan of in excess, and i believe this filly's sire is the 2nd best offspring of inxs that i've seen run. he had all sorts of problems, but that horse could really run.

if you go back a couple of dams too, there were some pretty decent horses in her family. there is even a winner of the test stakes that won 10 of 13.

This is consistent with him, when his horses take action, it comes from all coasts
