If you look at tomorrow’s (Friday) Pimlico Race 1
#2 Holiday Time does not have sales price ..But because “Breeder” is Peter Blum and “Owner” is Peter Blum, we can assume filly is a homebred.
# 3 Timeless Curls shows a Keeneland Yearling Sale in Sept 2016 and was bought for “only” $35K. I say “only” because the Sire is Curlin who stands for $150K . He serviced a Dam, who in her last recorded race, gets beat in a $30K claimer at Will Rogers Downs. So why does the breeder take the $35K at a Yearling auction after it paid $150K for Curlin’s services plus expenses of pregnant Dam, etc. Was it confirmation? A Vet issue?
