Lifestyle

Well I got up early to check T-Graphs red board room on a couple horses. One I bet, one I didn\'t.

The one I didn\'t is the interesting horse to me. I\'ve never seen anything like this. Its lifestyle. This horse sold per T-graph Sheets for 100K as a weanling which would have been 2001. Then he sold as a yearling for 1,100K per T-sheets, that would be 2002. The sale listed on the past performances I have appears to be a Barretts Equine sale in March of 2004 for 300K. I thought that was a 2yr old in training sale, but they must have let some horses of racing age go through the ring.

The odd thing of course is the price. Either he was a Buyback RNA, or there was fire sale or someone\'s got the info wrong. He is just racing at four, so its possible it was a fire sale.  

This is the horse Jerry was quizzical about on being ouchy and I was with him on that. But he won laughing, so I dont know whats going on. I suppose I can check the sales. I\'m assuming the T-Sheets sales indicated are probably Fasig Tipton.

This horse was part of The Thoroughbred Corp\'s disbursement sale that took place at Barrett\'s.  

I don\'t think there were any reserve prices in the sale, I think it was simply a matter of getting as much as they could for each horse.  

Baffert couldn\'t get him the races but he always trained like a very good horse.  If he stays together, he certainly has a world of ability.

Actually, wesley ward loved this horse and went to owner, roger king, and told him he would put up some of this own money to buy this horse even though it was HIGH RISK. it looks like he has enormous talent, but will he stand up physically.

thanx miff and sheba.

how\'d you do on that pick six miff?  it was reachable...i passed it on time to handicap.

I got up to early...lol  Lifestyle was a 2year old in 2002, yearling in 2001, weanling in 2000.

So i think its answered...1,100 K purchase...hurt and resold in dispersal.

thx

I had 3pick 5ve\'s and lost a few hundred to the bet. Icaught a tough beat by Callejas\'s horse in the 5THth(PERFECT TRIP WINNER). Not reslting,the horse came up equal in my eyes to the ONE(Pletcher\'s) and despite the weight advantage to the winner,I tossed Callejas who RARELY wins.Just about any other trainer and I\'m 27k richer.Another day lies ahead.

Hitting five aint bad.

EEEK, you left out that horse? You got brass ones...lol I think that was the only stakes competitor in the field and had won last time on turf and was perfect on Belmont turf.

I viewed the T-Sheets for the day to check T-Graphs opinion of Bear Fan. I\'ll look at the race on T-Sheets. You must be a good handicapper to toss him and almost beat him.

when you look, remember she was a three yr old facing older and had \'wired\' in both her wins.It looked like the two horse would make the pace,so I handicapped that the winner\'s preferred style would be compromised. I was wrong but it took a perfect trip.For some reason joe bravo, on the front end, opted off the hedge(if you view the race)which,to me, is the height of stupidity in grass racing.
