The OBS Select 2-yr-old in training sale still on for tomorrow/Wed. I assume it will be filled with RNAs, despite the ability to buy over the phone/videolink.

Sad. But in the current environment, they really had no choice. Our Country is in a bad way right now (thanks, media), so celebrating ANYTHING right now would be a terribly bad optic. Racing has enough of an image problem without this.

Wow!

I will finally break even this meet.

there will be horses that would have sold last year for $50k that you will be able to pick up for $10k. i think people will sell them for whatever they can get now.

It didn't go well. I suspect a lot of the RNAs/outs will show up in the June OBS sale or Fasig Tipton Midatlantic in May (I think nominations have closed for the latter, but they'll probably change that--already merging with the OBS April sale).

Bummed. Keeneland has become one of my favorite tracks to play.
