[@SaraNightfire1]

@@MikeSmith-cn6ub I am talking in general. Buying a racehorse in any case is a gamble. You can end up with a Seattle Slew or a Green Monkey. But if you get a gem, even in millions, you’ll get your investment back and more. Man O’ War sold for $5,000. In his first few races he earned triple what he was sold for. Green Monkey sold for a record sale price and never raised a hoof.

[@downeastlady]

From a racing fan's perspective only (fifty years following racing and have been lucky to see some of the greats in racing run) she is well balanced, great hip, musculature abounding, lovely head, her neck I think is longer than Pharoah's and definitely as they said with Beholders muzzle. But when she turned to look out at the crowd's of bidders it took me back to 2015 because she shows not only a physical resemblance to Pharoah but his sweet personality which he seems to be throwing in a lot of his progeny. Will she be another Beholder? Maybe or she might be a bust in racing but, even then, her bloodlines would make her a valuable broodmare. I can't wait to see her run.

[@musiclover148]

"Sweet?" She kept trying to bother the handler. Weren't you watching? If he had let her, she would have nipped him constantly.
