APRIL OBS SALE

BECOME A PART OF IT NOW

 You have to be living under a rock not to know that it is Derby season and in the horse industry it's also two-year-old in-training season. I will be heading down to the OBS sale next week. My selection team will be coming in from Kentucky to join me and we will be perusing the various horses that will be offered for sale. My philosophy has always been to be reasonable and set a tight budget  because there is already significant downside in this business that many of us know well. I try to find very well bred horses from high performance families at a reasonable price so if we get a consistent horse, it will pay for itself. Even though we're all looking to win the Kentucky Derby and the Breeders' Cup classic the first issue at hand is to find a sound horse that knows where the wire is and has the desire, the athleticism and the aptitude to get their first. While others dazzle the public and make headlines buying mid-to-high six-figure horses, I always wish them good luck but I will stick to my strategy of trying to find a diamond in the rough. The majority of horses offered for sale are horses that love to follow the leader and run around with their friends on a beautifully groomed surface. It's the select few that have the genetic intuition to be the herd leaders and finish first. In the wild, these are the horses whose ears prick at the slightest noise. They raise their heads up when they sense danger and lead the herd to safety running 40 to 45 miles an hour until they are satisfied that they have outrun their predators. Lucky for us there are no predators chasing our race horses but we still have to find the herd leaders. 

If you are interested in following us through the process of selecting a two-year-old and adding another fabulous athlete to your stable, please contact me. 

For this OBS April sale I am looking to raise $200 - $250,000 to help bring in a herd leader and expand our roster at Dream Maker Racing. If you’ve been following along but haven’t quite bit the bullet yet, we would love to bring you in on this new selection. I will be happy to map out a detailed strategy along with some of our early pics. We are very picky and do not believe in purchasing a quantity of horses. When your horse is training in Mr. Mott's barn, you must have a quality individual. If you would like to follow along, you can get an idea of what we're looking at and how the process works.
