More horses to Japan? Why can't everyone just suck up a few less $$$$ and keep some of our horses at home? :banghead:

Thanks for the update! Stuck at work with no way to watch. Mandy is gathering a really, really, nice band of mares. Exciting!

Summer Soiree RNA'd
I know Briecat wasn't exactly royally bred (being out of Adcat), but she was a multiple grade 2 winner, grade 1 placed and a stakes winner on all 3 surfaces. I don't know of too many mares who've done that. She made 39 starts from ages 3 till 7 and was one tough cookie. I hope she has offspring as plucky as she was.
K.O.I.D. (which is a business that buys horses for various South Korean buyers) has been busy at the Keeneland sale. Thus far they have purchased 26 mares, including 13 during Monday's session.

Could very well be, although K.O.I.D. is generally very active at the sales, mostly for the yearlings with a aim at racing.
