Then he moved to the big city, and in 18 years he was champion three times and had all the best horses." While Delgado=s first sales splashes have been made in the deep end, Morales said the conditioner will likely be active throughout the sale. AHe has all kinds of partnerships,@ Morales explained of Delgado. AThere's a group that=s focused more on having a very good horse or broodmare or future sire--that kind of horse. Then he has another group for which he's going for racy horses--good bodies, less pedigree, but racy." Of the influx of South American money into American bloodstock in recent years, Morales, a Venezuelan native and former trainer himself, offered, AThey love horses in South America. It could be that they see opportunity. The market was down, and they began to come more.

Pope hasn=t slowed her yearling buying, however. AWe bought two at Saratoga, six at the New York- bred sale, and this is the second one we=ve bought here,@ she said.
