Auction horses

With both the Cowhorse Futurity finals and the NRCHA select 2yo sale coming up I was intrigued by how last years select sale horses did in this years Futurity.

10 highest selling horses at the select 2yo auction 2009:


Wright On Time did place 2nd in the NSHA Futurity earlier this summer.

Other observations in correlation to saleprice/performance: You could´ve had the current nr 3 and thus finalist, No Chic Flicks for a meesly $10.200, current nr 20 Heart of a Remedy for $15.000.

For those of you wanting to own a futurity finalist, there´s still time! 12th in the prelims and selling at the performance horse sale Friday is Sheza Dancingdiamond & 23rd and also a finalist, Abbey Roan!!

The above duo also share another interesting or disturbing (take a pick) fact, their dams each have two offspring in the finals! A third mare also have 2 finalists:

Pandalita Star - finalists: No Chic Flicks, Slide Me Please
Sheza Shinette -finalists: Sheza Dancingdiamond, Hes Shinettes CD
Stylin Jewel -finalists: Halo Cat, Abbey Roan

I can see the economics in harvesting eggs and transplanting them to a recepient mare to be able to have more offspring to market. I JUST DON`T CARE FOR IT!
It´s not like you´re trying to feed the hungry or produce a vaccine to cure people, in wich case I wouldn´t have a problem with the technology. But when plain old greed is the motivating factor, then, atleast in my book, it´s WRONG! (There I said it...)
