Two youngsters from my ToF crop horses are in the Keeneland Two-Year-Olds In Training Sale on 8/9 April 2008:
Hip 41: chestnut colt (2006), Storm Cat x Paiota Falls
and
Hip 163: dark bay or brown filly (2006), Cat Dreams x Siphonophora
In the Keeneland September Yearling Sale the Paiota Falls colt, who is her first foal, went unsold for $425,000. I am very interested to see what he will bring in this sale. It should be around the half million mark in my opinion.
The Cat Dreams x Siphonophora filly is quite experienced at this whole sales thing by now. This will be third time she is led through the Keeneland sales ring. She was first sold at the January Of All Ages Sales in 2007 for $16,000, then she fetched $10,000 in September of the same year. In feel she is well bred and I would hazard a guess that she will bring between $20,000 and $25,000.
They will gallop under tack on Monday 7 April.

Price Is Right For Rightly So
The Selected Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training took place on Tuesday 12 February. In it was hip 17, a dark bay filly from the first crop of graded stakes winner Read The Footnotes. She is out of Fit Right In, who belonged to my 2002 crop.
Fit Right In never raced. Her dam Gaye's Blossom is by Thirty Six Red, one of my all-time favourite horses. I also follow her Freud half sister Don't Mind Me (2004), who is an allowance winner and stakes placed.
Rightly So is Fit Right In's first foal and Tuesday was the first time she went through the ring. She had performed well in the under tack show, going 2f in 10.1 on 3 February. Showing speed in the under tack shows can really up the sales price, remember The Green Monkey anyone? :o)
She was consigned by Sequel Bloodstock and sold for a very neat $220,000. Zayat Stables bought her.
Her name was not on her catalogue page, but I hope they will keep her name. I like Rightly So. It sounds stubborn :o)
Anyway, keep an eye out for the girl when she gets to the races. I have added her to my 2006 crop.
