Consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, the son of Malibu Moon had been a supplemental entry into the sale after winning the Betfair.com Pegasus Stakes (gr. III) at Monmouth Park. The Pegasus im- proved Donegal Moon's record to 3-1-1 in 11 starts and earnings of $199,252 for trainer Todd Pletcher. "There weren't enough of those types of buyers here," Taylor Made's Duncan Taylor said. "He's a good horse and I think he's worth that." Crawford did not rule out the possibility of a pri- vate sale. "If we don't sell him, we're going to have the 5-2 favorite in the West Virginia Derby (gr. II) and say 'Come and catch us.' There are worst things than that," Crawford said. Crawford and Donegal Racing bought Donegal Moon for $220,000 from the Gainesway consignment to the Keeneland September yearling sale.

With competitive bidding, Fasig-Tipton reported 72 horses sold for $5,048,500, with 19 horses not sold. The average price was $70,118 and the median was $42,000.

"It was a pretty similar marketplace to what we have seen in recent years," said Fasig-Tipton pres- ident and CEO Boyd Browning. "I thought it was pretty competitive bidding on most of the lots. There was plenty of activity and interest for the most part on the vast majority of racehorses." With Donegal Moon not selling, the top price was $575,000 paid by SF Bloodstock for grade I winner Stormy Lucy in a private transaction after she depart- ed the sales ring unsold at $650,000. Taylor Made's Leif Aaron said after the 7-year-old daughter of Stormy Atlantic, left the ring unsold, the consignor was contacted by several interests, which resulted in the sale. One of the highlights of the sale was the dispersal of horses owned by Elisabeth "Betty" Alexander's Eutrophia Farm, which grossed $1,673,000 and was topped by the Storm Cat mare Kitness. Offered by Taylor Made Sales Agency, as agent, the 22 horses from the dispersal included mares and foals, yearlings, 2-year-olds, and horses of racing age. "They sold very good and it is a credit to Mrs. Al- exander's breeding decisions over the years," Taylor Made's Mark Taylor said.

"They're going to let my body get back to some normalcy [before doing the scan], but just to be five days away from my last treatment I feel a sense of relief and achievement.

  • BROODMARE ANALYSIS REPORT a Broodmare’S Nicking Analysis with up to 50 Potential Stallions
    COMPILED SPECIFICALLY FOR Tempo BROODMARE ANALYSIS REPORT A broodmare’s nicking analysis with up to 50 potential stallions Copyright © 2011 The Jockey Club Information Systems, Inc. BROODMARE ANALYSIS REPORT TrueNicks: An Explanation Nicks in History Compatibilities between stallions from one sire line with mares of another sire line has helped shape the breed since the Eclipse/Herod cross of the late 18th century. These successful crosses, called nicks, have impacted Thoroughbred development through such examples as Hermit/Stockwell, Lexington/Glencoe, Bend Or/Macaroni, and Phalaris/Chaucer. In the modern era, the prolific Mr. Prospector/Northern Dancer cross has produced outstanding racehorses and sires such as Kingmambo, Distorted Humor, and Elusive Quality. Fast-Forward to the 21st Century Computer databases have made it possible to measure and rate nicks, giving rise to a commercial market for such statistics. The first nick ratings offered to the public, though popular, were compromised by incomplete data and yielded results based on hypothetical rather than actual opportunity. This statistical gap was the impetus behind the development of TrueNicks. A Statistically Valid Approach Unlike other ratings that are calculated based on hypothetical opportunity within a limited group of horses, TrueNicks references the international database of The Jockey Club—the world’s most complete record of Thoroughbreds and their performance—to produce a sophisticated rating based on all starters and stakes winners on a given cross. The Statistics The TrueNicks rating is derived from two statistical elements: the Sire Improvement Index (SII) and the Broodmare Sire Improvement Index (BSII). Each figure compares the percentage of progeny stakes winners to starters.
