With the auction season gearing up, one of my favorite things to do is “shop” the sales catalogues.Instead of looking forward to what might be, I thought it would be interesting to highlight a few sales from the past and see how it all turned out.I will be writing four articles in this series, starting with Yearlings, moving to Two Year Olds, Broodmare Prospects and The Bargain Bin.
This article has been, by far, my favorite of the “Buys and Blunders” series.While writing every word, smiling, shaking my head in wonder about how incredibly lucky these owners were to hold these winning lottery tickets.It has been proven again and again that a few diamonds will slip through the cracks in the auction ring.Who doesn’t love those stories of the unassuming owners that hit it big. It would be like a minor league player who gets to swing a bat in the World Series, hitting the game winning home run.
I hope you enjoy reading about these great horses as much as I loved writing about them.I watched Mine That Bird’s Kentucky Derby ten times for this article and was grinning ear to ear every time!It will never get old.
