    Being a full to Trinniberg upped her worth. Still interesting. A $3500 stallion who's highest earner (Trinniberg) hadn't even earned that sales amount...(341k in earnings). His next best runner has a shade over 50k. Sales are just plain mind boggling sometimes!

    So many people go GA-GA over sub :11 breezes,..I know people love to see speed,..but It seems to me you might be able to get a bargain buying one that didn't breeze but had decent confirmation galloped well..I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way..

    These days everything has to be sub :11 or they're just outright slow.

    But a time that is just barely above average can indeed be a bargain - like Hip 494 at OBS April last year who worked an 1/8 in :10 2/5 (while the fastest work of that session was :9 4/5.

    Hip 494 of course is I'll Have Another.

    See, that just goes to prove front speed is not everything. I have seen some colt/fillies that don't have the real fast times, but they get over the ground nicely- makes you think that they want a bit more ground to show their best.

    Was Zenyatta ever in a under tack show before she was sold? Would be interesting to see.

    No, she sold as a yearling.

    I thought that may be the case, thanks.

    Every time I see a work time of :9 4/5, I think of The Green Monkey and we all know how that turned out.
