Kid Flash garnered only one single bid, $50,000 from Elite Thoroughbreds, which was not enough to cover the $75,000 reserve price. Therefore, he will stay at Otsego Farms to finish the season as an active racer.
Admittedly, Kid has had a bit of an off-year in 2010, but has still been in the money in 4 of 6 races and has earned approximately $74,000. His speed scores have been respectable at 100, 99, 98, 98, 88, and 82, so he still has shown adequate speed.
We toyed with the idea of dropping the reserve in the final hours to facilitate a sale, but decided against it.

hi i am new to this game, and i would have been very interested in your horse for the 75k.
could we do a private sale ???

Thanks for the interest Wendy. Even with my fondness for you British gals, I'll have to pass. When he didn't sell in the auction, I became resolved to race Kid Flash for the rest of the season, after which he'll most likely be retired.
