We are heading over to the barns this afternoon, and will try to get standing-room passes for the mezzanine this evening. Three hips I'm interested over the two days-
Tonight:
Hip 40- Pioneerof The Nile colt out of Kindle
Hip 109- American Pharoah colt out of Seattle Smooth
Tomorrow night:
Hip 178- Uncle Mo filly (NYB) out of Artemis Argrotera, bred by the Bromans.

Lots of reserved seats were vacant in the photo of the sales ring. I suppose that those who planned to bid would only show up when a yearling they were interested in would come up for auction.
Watched some of the live feed last night. I'm always amazed how quickly a high priced horse goes through the auction ring. A lot of risk and work by a breeder or seller gets determined in the course of one or two minutes.

The seats may have been vacant but it was literallyjam packed outside. I got no farther than the bar. Ninety five percent of the people there last night never even saw a horse but it was great fun for all who attended and the party went on until 4 am !

Friends have this filly going through the ring late tonight. I figure she’ll get a bid or two.... www.fasigtipton.com/catalogs/2019/0805/206.pdfThe Medaglia d’Oro half sold very well here last year to Phoenix I believe but not sure where that one ended up for training.

I'm hoping there is a wee dram left of that by Travers week but I have my doubts. Hooper

Is that a bottle of booze or a pie recipe?
