they got more than twice that in '06, and bought her back. thought she'd go for more than that, even with the current economic conditions.

wonder what reserve they set on azeri.

I am watching the sale, and while I don't know about past January sales, there is alot of horses going through for under 10k, can't be a good sign for the sale, but a great sign for people that are buying

If you afford to buy, it's a great time to be in the market. Prices are very low IMO and there are tons of puts. My guess is that folks would rather hold their stock and hope for an improvement. I don't have the book so I'm not sure what the bulk of the "outs" are, mares, babies or racing age. My guess is that some are opting to wait out the market with yearlings.

How about those 2 adorable little babies that went through with their moms?

Linny, in regards to those babies, is that because they just foaled in 2009 and were early? I have never seen that

They were expecting somewhere around $5,000,000. so it's a notch low. Island Fashion was expected to get $1,000,000 and went for $950,000, so you could say the toppers are off by 5-10% or so.

not surprised to hear she was bought back. between her being a multiple gr 1 winner, and hoy; bred to the same.....and considering what vallenzeri was bought back for, that just seems too cheap.
more surprised that they didn't scratch her from the sale. with the current market conditions, they had to know she'd be devalued.

Think it was all just to comply with the will. Don't think they expected to actually sell her.

From Blood-Horse yesterday:

Quote:
But this time around, according to the consignors of Azeri and Island Fashion, Paulson and Nielsen are serious about letting them go.

“I am very confident that Azeri is going to be sold,” said John Sikura, whose Hill ‘n’ Dale Sales Agency will offer the 11-year-old mare. “Now, if there is some great aberration in the market that we haven’t seen before, then every owner has a right to protect his interest. But the intent is to sell and we’ve said that to any prospective buyer and publicly to any media source. If there is a reserve, it will be very reasonable.”

Paulson told The Blood-Horse late last year that selling Azeri was “part of the restructuring and wrapping up of my father’s trust.”
Who was the high bidder?

If it were me, I'd be furious.

Why? If I am the seller I am putting a price on her and if I don't keep it, well fine, I will keep the horse. a bidder has zero reason to be furious about not getting a horse.

Because I thought 4.4 million a reasonable reserve.

Obviously I was wrong
