"Out", is this Tom Van Meter and/or another of this family who
consigned hip 512?
If so, as an FYI, Tom Van Meter was a the major link to
Zayat in the purchase of American Pharaoah and several other
major stakes winners for Mr. Z.

Yes, this is the Tom Van Meeter that foaled out American Pharaoah and weaned him at his Lexington farm. There was no purchase of AP for the Z team, as he was a homebred. This colt was appraised by the Keeneland rep at 200k and had a reserve for 225k. We were extremely happy that he reached and went well above his reserve. From what i've heard, he is bound for Japan. Our Scat Daddy filly is heading to California with Tommy Town Stables. Our Bodiemiester leaving for Keeneland tomorrow and selling Wednesday. Depending on how much interest he gets from buyers, we will then decide on a reserve for him.
