Generally, I keep a few mid-talent or over-the-hill horses on board to serve as a safety valve in the event that I need to make room quickly.
Right now, I am in the uncomfortable position of not having that luxury. There are a couple acquisitions I would like to make but I'm tapped out stall-wise and I don't want to get rid of any of the horses I currently own. It's quite a quandary.
These are my horses.... and the reasons I don't want to get rid of them:
- Methy Bus - joining stallion ranks
- Acquarella - steady producer who spun a WR in his last race
- Battlestar - proven winner
- French Twist - consistent money maker with very long career potential
- Hollands Best - really quite talented for a no-name
- Zombieslayer - long career should pay dividends
- Jackhammer - proven winner
- Le Chiffre - proven winner
- Na'vi - has tools and it's too soon to give up
- Ugotthelook - superior talent with broodmare potential
- Viperwolf - should be dominant at G2/G3
- Give Me Danger - unraced 3yo with stayer heart and breeding
- Helikaon - Kentucky Derby bound talent
- Infinity World - rising PSR's bode well
- Kid Shelleen - he's fast and strong so he should break out in 2019
- Lapsus - acquired in On The Prowl deal... he's the next Methy Bus
- Makes Me Wonder - expecting much more as a 3yo based on numbers
- Reminiscing - nice start as 2yo
- Rico Suave - Otsego's next distance stud. Watch him.
- Scarlet Witch - her numbers are good, early season will make or break
- Simply Charming - three wins as a 2yo, hard to argue with that
- Then Came You - long peak, rising PSR's... outlook good
Of course, I have 12 incoming 2yo's as well as another 28 yearlings and foals, none of which I will sell until I've seen them race a couple times and have had a chance to digest their numbers.
So...I need to make a little room, but I'm not currently in the position to do so. What to do?
