I went along today for a look, I'm still trying to learn about the game. Lot 444 sale topper, surprised me that it made 100k, I can see the attractions but would have thought not super commercial( given the price), would be interested in other people's views

It's hard not to agree with you Ovalu. I find myself thinking along the same lines with this one. It's a nice page to go with at a goodish level but right now D of M pulls it down.
As ever though in this game, we take a view over the paperwork whilst doing our list and then the Nedddy that gets pulled out to be shown puts the flesh on the bones of the bid structure. If she was lovely then the page works well enough and plenty of people would have wanted her. Particularly in a sale short on quality options. |

Huge price in my opinion.....not overbig close coupled,turned in near fore quite badly and had a splint on same cannon bone , not a great walker and had a curby hind leg which was disappointing for grand daughter of Danehill

Great reporting OllieJohn. That post is just the sort of background I love to see on here!
Your forensic critique was very interesting but I just wondered if 444 had any style that could have sold her over the faults? |

did anyone get a glimpse of lot 220? a friend of mine was there and said despite the german pedigree he was a belter of an individual.
on lot 444, given the Dukes female line i wouldnt bet against him being a strong broodmare sire but word on street is that he'll be India bound soon. I heard a story of a Duke yearling colt that is very well related but the owner knows it wont sell for what its worth so he is going to have to put it into training hoping the successful siblings trainer will take a share in it in lieu of training fees. |

Looked at 444 for a cleint.....he wanted nice national hunt mare and as i think Rock Critic is a lovely prospect in that sphere the only concern was Duke of Marmalade. I dont like the Danehill line for NH,butDylan Thomas has sired a couple of useful juvenile hurdlers and was prepared to take a chance....on the trade i thought she might of made 20-30 k
