Speaking of Large Sums of Money
Today’s late Pick 4 at Aqueduct payed a whopping !46,913! A Pick 4! As you can guess, no favs won in the last 4 races.
6th: Ocean Goddess payed $59
7th: As Do I payed $56.50
8th: Sugar Shake payed $6
9th: Dancing Tin Man payed $14.90
Also not surprising that there’s another Pick 6 carryover of $154,615.
Over at Fasig-Tipton land, Valbenny beat out Super Freaky in the auction ring as well going for $1.2 million. Appealing Zophie went for $1.15, Cotton Blossom for $1.9, Irish Smoke got away for a meager $750K in comparison and one of my favs, the tough as nails Asi Siempre, went for $3 million to someone named Steve.
It was fun and alarming to watch. I loved how the auctioneer would chide the audience and throw in references to the lineage amid the stream of numbers. Occasionally when they felt the current bid was too low they would stop in the middle and talk up “the lot”.
Check in with Valerie at Foolish Pleasure for a full recap of the auction… I only watched a bit of it + she really knows her stuff about about breeding and lineages so she’ll have tons on insights.
