7 Captaintreacherous Lots 33, 51, 142, 145, 183, 197, 203
Only 2 Bettors grabbed me Lots 44 and 107
Only 1 Art Major = Lot 132
3 Sweet Lou's Lots 13, 73, 206
and 1 Somebeach while he is still around Lot 192
Downbytheseaside is somewhat lucky to be on my list of Sires and only because of his US results (He only had 24 2yos on the ground in Oz with 3 winners from 10 starters)
But I could not find a Sydney yearling whose pedigree I loved.
Always B Miki is also on my list more so for US results (although not so much '22 2yo's) but it is hard not to be tempted by Lot 90 from a Bettors daughter of Tailamade Lombo. Miki x Bettors has 2 US millionaires
While Lot 91 is a full sister to Joyful and dam Joyfuljoy has been very hard to get in foal.
Lot 153 has some appeal but there is nothing to go on for this cross but I have always wondered whether Soho Lanikai might have been something special (will we see any of his in a sale - he sired 13 for this season)
Lot 172 which does have Tricky Miki to support the cross and
Lot 215 is from quite a strong US damline
I must have been feeling a lot more generous when I got down to Always B Miki as that is 5
ps What is with Breeders naming yearlings - buyers want to name their own horse
