What S.A. bred babies cost a fortune & earned nearly ZILCH ?

Just wandering what S.A. bred babies cost AN ARM & A LEG since 2000 & returned nearly nothing ?

Mr Hawaii comes to mind but pre 2000, and the 1st horse to cost 1Bar if i remember correctly. I think the 1st 1 Mil horse purchased locally ? am I correct ?

I don't think it has won any. Could be wrong though.
Let me check if I can come up with anything.

Got it

4 times 3rd
2 times 2nd
1 win

Did not total up the stakes but all in 60k to 70k races EXCEPT a 3rd in the R150 000.00 Strelitzia which we won on Passive Resistance,

That's why I remember it vividly.

I think Mr Hawaii was the first half-million buy??

If I am correct then who was the first R1m buy?

Mr Y Kahn bought a few very expensive babies when they started to push the million mark

Aaah, and I think it was unraced and unfortunately died as a yearling with Marwing?

Horse was called scarlet pimpernel bought at 2003 NYS if im not mistaken for R1,7mil

Is this the "nice to gloat" thread?

I think Horse of The Year Pocket Power was the most expensive yearling on his sale, and Dynasty was close to top price. Igugu was a R1,000,000. What does it prove if a well bred and great looking yearling just doesn't have "it"? So what's the point?

Geez Jack ,why so defensive?I have personally not got involved in the threads relating to AUCTIONS because I am certain that resolution to the issues,causing all the heat, will be dictated by legislation,but the one interesting point from those threads was the discussion relating to perceived value of a horse at yearling stage.My personal belief is that it is probably the most inexact science there is,as I challenge even the consistently successful buyers, to accurately put a PECUNIARY value at auction stage, to be compared at career end(including breeding, if applicable ,of course)
I suggest that this thread may be intending to illustrate that point rather than a gloat..........just my opinion of course.

perhaps the thread should also ask Which SA babies cost almost Zilch and made a fortune-(there are many)
