Minor transactions

Some recent comings and goings at Otsego Farms...

Newcomer Spy Vs Spy has already bought herself a ticket out of town.  I was hoping she might be late to mature since she was sired by Memcay, but after seeing her AR, and testing her in a couple races, it was obvious that Endless Vista was where she belonged.

Captain Britain was recently put on the market with a modest reserve of $10,000.  I felt that was a fair request for a 3yo colt sired by Union Jack who has a win in just 6 career races.  Photo Finish owners thought otherwise as the Captain attracted just one bid.  The $1000 offered by Josh Kayll isn't going to get the job done.  Rather than negotiate, we'll just keep Captain Britain and see if he can make good in his second chance. 

Coming in to Otsego Farms is the 3yo colt School Boy Heart.  He is a sprinter/miler type who has pretty good speed, but is still immature.  He is by Thief of Hearts; himself a late-maturing type.  We feel that SBH can pay his way, perhaps a bit more, after he grows up a little.  He sat out there on the sales page for a couple days without a bid, so we contacted our friends at Sunshine Stables and arranged a private purchase.
