Mr Valor What was the reason for buying a Second Empire/ Main Man Mare.

I liked the way she was conformed and walked.
The sire was not a primary consideration, as it never is with me when I buy yearlings, becasue I don't use the catalogue to buy them.
I bought her at the National Yearling Sale for 50,000.
Before giving the sales slip to Mike Bass, I added an extra zero, so that he would not think I was giving him a trashy animal. I figured that when the filly made her debut, he would read the actual price in Sporting Life and think somebody had made a mistake!
But when I saw Mike the last time I was in SAF, he had already figured out my little joke!
She was cheap, but I liked her.
As for Second Empire, I have a filly from Germany that races for us in the U. S. by Second Empire that was beaten a head in a Group 2 for us when she was the second or third highest ranked German filly of her crop at 2.
