Gobruins Sales

Daryl Dennis · Post by **Daryl Dennis** » 17 years ago

In an effort to preserve my own sanity, I will be making a legitimate attempt to cut my yearling total in half before the end of the season. I am eschewing the traditional auction format and will just throw them on the sale page.

Other ages will hit the page too after I deal with the yearlings. Primarily 2 yr olds as they get their 2nd start, and foals as I breed them. What this means is that for the next few days, whenever I am online, I will be putting yearlings on the sale page. For the unproven mares, the yearlings will go up for about 2x the sire price. Anything that has shown the capacity to throw something will probably see a tiny bit of a premium attached to the baby.

I have many unproven mares that are sibs of big time RL horses, and while not proven, if you do some pedigree digging, there will definitely be some nice prospects out there. If you are so inclined, feel free to look at my yearlings and ask about any number of specific babies. Obviously, I will be trying to keep the ultra-talented, but anything is possible!

PM me in game, or track me down on AIM if you like.

In the interest of full disclosure, are these yearlings also available for fans of USC?

My Singhi-bred 2YO's have bombed so far this year. However, this surely won't stop me from picking up a couple more when they become available!!

Thanks, Daryl. Not many I can afford, but I snatched up one in my range. I do need to curb my impulse buying, however.

It took a lot of debating, but I bought La Noche. She seemed like she would be a very nice filly. She went 4 furlongs in :47.36 just now.

I haven't much luck with Daryl's yearlings before but I'm really excited about the one I just bought, she looks like she'll be really nice

That is a bummer. Still, you only have one juvy Singhi-bred, but given his troubled running line, the fact that he cashed a check LTO would have me optimistic. The travel might knock something out of him this next start, but I would still be looking for him to break maiden in a non-Claimer sometime this year or next.

I was curious so I just pulled up a search of all Singhi-bred juvies and it looks like about 70% are earning money. It also appear that about 50% are earning in their first start. Given most juvy fields is packed, that looks pretty decent to me. I will get concrete numbers closer to the end of the year, but as of right now, they don't look bad at all.

A lot of route babies were running way too early, but now that there are routes available for them, they should start hitting the board.

Sure, but they have to pay double. They can afford it, after all, they are used to overpaying for things!

Geez, Daryl. With as much as I bought from you today alone, you should throw in a bonus foal or something!

Somebody did their research! I am about 2/3 through the yearlings, but about 35-40 have sold and another 60 are on the page. I didn't hold to my 2-3x rule for most of the fillies, so if the market doesn't see something selling, I am sure I will take measures to correct that.
