Hip 60 was bought back for $200,000 by Blue Chip farms? Are they nuts? How much do they think they will get?
. I predict Tall Dark Stranger will be a flop. He was horse that Yannick had to pound on to go and the biggest factor: He's a Bettor's Delight. No son of Bettor's Delight has made a stallion worth a damn.
Bettors Wish, Lazarus, Bit Of A Legend are doing well as sires . All sons of Bettors Delight
I know very little about breeding and am in no position to argue. I find your forecast interesting because MANY on here are crazy about TDS.
Betters Wish only had a crop of 39 so even with his one good one it remains to be seen. Voukefelas is the only real fast Lazarus and Bit of a Legend has not produced anything of substance yet. It's the same with All Bets Off, no commercial success although he did sire that freak Burke filly Pass Line.
I wish i had the Kimelman family's money
Oh he's good looking and checks all the boxes with pedigree but he is a Bettor's Delight and the family line is done. Cam Fella - Cam's Card Shark - Bettor's Delight.....Albatross - Niatross - Nihalator.......SomeBeachSomeWher e - Captain Treacherous - Captain Crunch.......There are many many more and I could go on and on but breeding and stallions have very distinctive traits over time. Norman Hall gives some very good insight on this with hard statistics and facts. He proves with numbers what the old timers know with there history.
I could be wrong but I think Tom Grossman purchased Blue Chip. Kimelmans are out.
What’s the story with William Pollock he is spending crazy money
I have no idea. I meant in my day. they ( uncle and grandfather) had personal seats on the exchange from what i gather, though what i know about the market could be picked out of a thimble with a hoof pick.
Oscar and his son Mike were stock brokers. I knew Oscar pretty well. His grandson Mike trains and drives. He does pretty well in the amateur races at The Meadowlands.
Is the amateur mike the son of the Mike that used to stable at YR and train and drive professionally back in our day? the mIke I am referring to would be in his mid 60s I am guessing based on my age.
