FULL CATALOG

[stelladaniella]

Gamine's 3 year old full brother Uncoachable is also in the sale. #0074.

[sweettalk]

between being entered in a claiming (albeit a 6 figure claimer) and the auction entry, they seem very eager to get rid of Olivier. wonder what issue(s?) he has. aside from apparently being slow, i mean.

[Northport]

Smile Happy has been a terror to handle and train, and was just gelded because of it. Guess the gelding hasnt changed much if they’re looking to sell him. Thoughts and prayers to whoever buys him. Could be a project for someone with a lot of patience.

Owners that don't want to own a slow horse.

[Miss Woodford]

Dana's Beauty is a nice hard-knocking mare, interesting to see her here.

#42 the unraced 3yo Perfectify (Justify x Above Perfection) - did he have any physical issues or other reasons why he hasn't started yet?

If I were buying I'd pick up Celestial Joy as a steeplechase prospect, his dam side is all stayers and jumpers. His second dam produced a G3-winning hurdler (Sternrubin) who isn't on the catalogue page.

Given how much poetic praise and how many facebook posts have been heaped upon Triple Tap, it is a bit strange how quickly Olivier is being shown the door. Limited stall space for less talented brothers of superstars at Summer Wind.

Okay so I thought about this. He is owned by other people as well. They bought him at the yearling sale and she stayed in. It wouldn't shock me if she bought them out. But is she as close to Feathered's babies as she is Emma's? I think that is a huge part of Triple Tap and Theprinceofthebes being at her farm. She definitely cares about all her horses, its just another level with Emma and her foals.

A half to Harry Angel is in there, too. #98.

The Klaravich Stable horses are so obvious, lol.

[Flanders]

MSW/G2p Noted is in the sale. He has been unplaced in 2 starts this year.

[Mylute]

G2W Dynamic One (Union Rags) is in the sale as a racing or stud prospect.

SW Night Time (Majesticperfection) is the same.

i guess Uncoachable doesn't look pretty, but he has to have vetted pretty horribly.

Uncoachable looks.. questionable. His legs don't scream I/M, but the ribs are what got me. Who bought him?

Wish him the best with the colt!

[Izvestia]

Dynamic One, Smile Happy and Tiz the Bomb probably just need to retire, or they’ll continue slipping down the ranks.

[stelladaniella]

Tapthedrum, by Tapit out of Drumette (makes him half to Monomoy Girl) RNA'd for $47,000

Also states that Dynamic One is "PS" instead of RNA or OUT. Does it mean private sale? States the price was $100k to Phipps Stable?
