PROBLEM: Need more stall space. SOLUTION: Buy more horses?


With my commitment to breeding more foals, I have also made a commitment to tighten up my stall management.

My first act under the new tight-stall regime is.....BUY MORE HORSES!

OK. I admit it. I'm weak.

I can swear that I won't do buy another horse and then BANG! The first horse I covet I buy anyway.

It happen last week with 2yo Leaning Tower. In a previous post I explained my rationale for buying him.

Today it was Sovereign Hill. She is a handsome weaning filly by Park Lane out of Excellent Deal. I have always liked Park Lane from back in my early PF days and Excellent Deal, while not a star by any means, has produced a very successful runner by the name of Lord Fauntleroy, owned by Squirrel Racing.

So, I liked the cut of this fillies jib, and when I saw the price was just $1000, I just about had a seizure trying to hit the BUY NOW button before someone else got her.

That's it. I'm not buying another horse this season. I'm resolute on this matter!

Pssst! Hey Cecil, you wanna sell Ton Of Luck?

How the hell u manage that for $1000 even if shes not the best bred filly a filly is still a filly and there worth way more than $1000 even if she was really crappy bred that $1000 would still be a bargain
Nice catch Sir Jim
