Kempton Breeze Up Sales - April 3rd

I wasn't overly impressed last year, thought the prices were very high.  maybe helped by lashings of champagne during the break from breezes to sales ring.

Everything we took home soon developed sore shins as well, so im happier now on to buy yearlings than go to the breeze ups.

However, very small sample size for my experience to count against others.


What a killjoy i am sadly

Thanks for your views Koo, its too late flites are booked, no turning back, will keep my fingers crossed, who knows, i take it you wont be going back.  ???

bucko as demonstrated last year its perfectly possible to buy a racehorse at the kempton breeze but imho the catloge is not the place to start
there will be some gems there but the best thing to do is watch them closely and pick the runner not the page
good luck but dont pick the same one as me

Mocklershill have about 12 going to Kempton. Their website is very good, it shows each horse walking, galloping and conformation. Have a look and see what you think www.mocklershill.ie  I like one or two,any opinions?

the mocklers hill boys are the best at preparing horses to breeze but you will have to pay well for there expertise
they topped the sale at every european  breeze up last year

Too far for me to have a day out really as im more interested in selling mine than buying tbh

Thanks guys, i have been looking at Mocklershill web site, and Marnanes both have some nice lots, its a tough task indeed but i am looking forward to the task, (good web site allright Gotchee) Marnanes  isnt a bad site either,

the Tapit looks the standout lot of the catalogue (under 100 lots and mixed but bigger than last year).
2yo market so far in USA has been strong, whether the same will apply over here we'll see. As with all markets it has its risks, but in the right company a potential buyer can be guided accordingly to budget / needs.
Both Bansha and Mockerlshill are leading 2yo consignors, along with Hawthorn Villa, Grove, Tally Ho, Bloodstock Connection, oak tree (stormin Norman)to name just a few. Seven Springs prominent at Nmkt too.

Seen a nice colt by Officer Lot no 54, thats just one that i like on paper,any views on American breds

?

Despite a few noteables on here determined that the stallion is on the decline (a Grp1 winner, Grp1 2nd and a Listed winner in 24hrs wont change their minds I presume)...there is bizarrely only one Kyllachy in this sale and its a filly full sister to a 2yo winner and group runner (overfaced). Could be relatively cheap but its all about the breeze.

I've been thinking of you, yer ma with Kyllachy's good recent run! I hope you are currently invested in him one way or another. I think that the main doubter is perhaps having to re-appraise! I have always been a little indifferent not necessarily anti but I always think his fee has been 2k too much.
His consistency is laudible though and those horses that do it year in year out are always a good sporting bet to get the a good one too.  It will be interesting to see how consistent he is going forward with regard to the classy runner ratio.

Did anyone see either of the 2 SPEIGHTSTOWN colts that made the top 10 lots please?  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks
