Cows and more auction

Gearing up to put Kick The Cat on a cow. She's had maybe 20 rides or so on her and it's about time to start tracking one. She's doing great by the way. Still taking things really slow and easy to let her mind keep up with the rest of her. Most of the challenge, besides keeping her sound, is to keep her calm and balanced. She's pretty hyper at times, so lots of slow work and plenty of breathers and just standing around is the ticket.
It feels like she's got all the ability in the world though and it will be exciting to see how she handles a critter. Hopefully we'll find the time this weekend, I've got races to cover both Saturday & Sunday, but I'll keep you posted.

The WR This Cats Smart colt in the previous post sold for $5.400 yesterday by the way! Wish I could've been there (but with somebody elses pocketbook!)

Today, in the select session, there's an abundance of interesting colts up in the ring.

73. Good Good Almighty mentioned yesterday might be a little pricey. I like to find the hidden gems in there, horses I could actually afford. I'm looking for a potential stud prospect this time so the ones mentioned are all colts.

Here's a couple:


62. Stylish Lena Rey, (Stylish Rey-Petite Olena) First horse up, usually gets a lower bid than normal. Interesting damside, Petite Olena won $33.000 and 2nd dam, Peppy Petite, $120.000 in the cutting pen. Stylish Rey's first major crop.


77. Time For The Diamond, (One Time Pepto-Diamonds With Style) Probably gonna be to pricey, but what the heck. Gardiner Ranch usually has a very high RNA and buy's back a couple every year. But OTP on a Playing Stylish daughter with a NRCHA record and more blacktype on the bottom sure has my attention. He's a looker too don't you think!


81. Cadilac Rey, (Dual Rey-Sumkinda Pinkcadilac) This one's borderline too but a friend bought his full brother 2 years ago for $10.000 and that's about my virtual limit so he's included. Dual Rey needs no introduction and the damside, it doesn´t get much better! Dam produced a NCHA Futurit Finalist and 2nd & 3rd dams are Somkinda Memories and Somekinda Playgirl!


86. Fletch The Cash, (Royal Fletch-Mo Flo) This one's interesting! The Royal Fletches usually doesn't bring much at the auctions but this guy's got some decent siblings. Mo Flo earned $130.000 herself as a cutter and has produced one of the colts Boyd Rice is competing on this weekend, Fletchmo, placed in the middle of the pack in the Futurity prelims after a not so stellar fencework.


132 Apolo Oak, (CD Olena-Shiners Little Oak) I love the CD Olenas and this one is half brother to last years Futurity champ Stylish Little Oak. Again, might be alittle over budget but lets pretend we can afford him! San Juan Ranch sells just about all of them so this one shouldn´t be to inflated.


94. Wheres My Spot, (Spots Hot-Wheres My Shine) Saved this one for last! This one could very well be lost among all the High Brow Cats, Dual Reys and One Time Peptos. I like the Spots Hot babies with Harley $160.000, Some Like It Hott $150.000 and Sticky Spot $70.000 in NCHA earnings, and this guy have a damside! Wheres My Shine was NRCHA Non Pro Futurity champ and earned $80.000, 2nd dam Boomerita also earned some NRCHA cash and has produced $215.000. 3rd dam produced NRHA derby champ and million dollar sire Conquistador Whiz. Since I lost out on Purdy Wrockin Cat yesterday This is my buy!
