He didn't deserve to get shipped out. He's finished on-the-board in all three races for Otsego Farms and his mom is a broodmare here.
I need to clear a couple stalls between now and breeding time and he was deemed the least stall-worthy of my current string. Not because he's no good; but because he's the least valuable of all my horses that are 3yo or older. My 2yo's get a pass into next season, which leaves me limited options for who to sell.
Necromancer will eventually have to go though. In fact, he spent an hour or two on the sales page today as a BUY NOW for $1000. Not bad for a horse who has been in-the-money in 9 of his last 10 races.
I ultimately decided that I'd just keep him until the end of the season, rather than risk him going somewhere undesirable. Luckily, I was able to snatch him off the sales page before someone bought him.
However, I'd still let him go under the right circumstances. If there is someone who is down on their luck and would like a decent racer for a cup of coffee, contact me.
