[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 8020715, member: 115909"]I wasn’t talking about yearlings. I was talking about horses like this. [ATTACH=full]1390474[/ATTACH] The photo above is the horse Plavius being auctioned. Notice the calm demeanor of the horse and that it is far from a yearling and looks to be in peak physical condition. If they brought the horse onto the auction stage and it started bucking and going wild I doubt it would’ve sold for that price. Afterall who wants to buy a race horse that will try to buck off any jockey that attempts to mount it like Bucephalus was believed to do. Does this look to you like a horse that has not been trained and evaluated for potential prior to auction? It doesn’t to me. It looks to me like a horse that sold for millions because it had both the bloodline & temperment to become a champion prior to being sold.[/QUOTE]
