2012 ready to run sale top lots disaster

their is lots of people who say these is the "value" sale. the 3 million rand race is for you if you buy and the horse is "ready to run"....i think mike azzie is hate these sale, may be his owner hate it more! the top 5 lots their is not the winner between them and today it look like not one will qualify for these race all though azzie is run die kat every week now as he panic for the dead line approaching. the top 5 lots was

die kat cost 2 million run 5 times no win
variety romp 1.6 million is never race.....
mystical star cost 1.5 million also azzie same owner as die kat 2 runs no win
tulbach trip 1,1 million is never race.....
ilitsche 1.1 million is never race.....

so these horse you add vat and about 100000 to sale price is what they cost owner up to to day and not one win the race.

Scary stuff,just shows us that it's not only about breeding,so guys a cheapy is not out of the question.

Superb! Now, who sez dat u canna rite ze gud zingleesh in fluent Greek?


Isn't there a suspicion of manipulation? Misleading info?

Or, are there such wealthy idiots out there to just 'bid' for status or whatever?

Get ready to run from Azzie once he reads that FH lol

Duplicate post......

I thought the cape ready to run sale was very good, reasonable prices and many winners, horses on the up from this sale.

Horses are sold more on hype than on pedigree specially on these RTR sales......also good looking horses are the downfall of people like Mykazzie......peeling the ped of the good looking Die Kat shows nothing of the price tag that was finally knocked down at......people have loaded these sales with inexpensive pinhooked imports and have hyped the ped......Tale of the Cat is a well performed if not one of the best sons of Storm Cat at stud......Die Kats dam never raced and the grand dam has some minor black type......what really puts me off this ped is the dreaded Mr P 3X4.......that is always a bit iffie without strong BR and or Danzig being present......

Looking forward to this year's draft there is again a sprinkling of pinhooked imports many are the1st foals of mediocre dams yet will be hyped to the hilt......yet there may be a future star like Igugu......so come play Russian roulette.....you may find the one that will blow them away......

Red Ray,Captains Reserve,Antonius du Bois,Arion,Capt America,Tribute to Kylie,Zobens to name a few......going to be a proper race!

is no only azzie who buy the expensive flop bc why must i run i say only the truth? to me i say many time the people who pay these type of price for the horse is crazy what they think when they pay?

Revealing post - I'm sure FH is not the TBA and breeder's 'poster of the year' right now - still imo information like this also needs to be in the public eye to balance all the hype (tu)

Of course the reason why 'these people' fork out the money is firstly because they can and secondly they are all chasing another 'Igugu' :

1000000% flash at least you are educating people who have the pipe dream. I was just yanking your chain

Personally I think this is not a good sale to purchase a horse on..the hype around the R3m race over rides a buyers judgement...also there is not enough time for a true reflection of the best horse between the sale and the race...also none of these horses are anywhere near ready to run..totally misleading advertising imo.
