New Posts For Thread: Tattersalls foalshttps://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31737161/tattersalls-foalsSome huge prices paid last week.As a novice to the sales, I was a bit surprised.Are buyers seeing pedigrees and buying them rather than waiting for the yearling sales? Is it because there seems to be a lot of money around to buy horses?Or something cI see the key skill at the foal sale as being the ability to call the physical side right. You also have to know your vendors well.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31737161/tattersalls-foals?post_id=561783187#561783187I see the key skill at the foal sale as being the ability to call the physical side right.

I get your point truehoncho but it must be hard to judge value unless you see a lot of horses sold every year and also know the fashionable pedigreehttps://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31737161/tattersalls-foals?post_id=561733293#561733293No longer in the owning or breeding game but I am a life long student of pedigrees so enjoy watching.

It was a good sale. Regardless whether you spread your risk, your assessment of value is still the key element. I'm not as bullish as many about the economy next year and paying premiums this year may well be an error.

Maybe invest in something like the Jamie Railton ones which have a good record and once had a tax saving angle too, might still.

Then you have to work out what you want to buy it for. It's ok saying they are worth more but we need a year to find that out.

Of course there will be bargains in there but even they will cost a bit more.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31737161/tattersalls-foals?post_id=561723753#561723753If the average price goes up 20% and you stick to your maximum price then on average you will get an inferior horse from the year before.

Just because someone is paying more for them, it doesn't make them worth it.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31737161/tattersalls-foals?post_id=561721479#561721479No, you don't need a bigger budget.

Unfortunately we had a very small budget so anything obvious was way out of our reach unfortunately.There were 3 or 4 we looked unsold in our budget range but they had conformation issues, or other issues.We need a bigger budget.

Anything a little off piste was gong quite cheap.
