Facts are facts – if we were going to have to go home without this filly we were going to make the fight into a battle royale in the sale ring.
We believed she was the right filly in the wrong sale and she would represent fabulous buying if we could own her.
As the dust settled in the war of attrition that is the sale ring, it was clear that
DYNAMIC SYNDICATIONS had just acquired a super filly with a super pedigree for a super price.
Arrowfield Stud as agent had just offered
Lot 332 to the market and
the filly had become Dynamic to our bid of $80,000.
We certainly were not looking at this filly as a 2yo type. She has the pedigree to be
our future Classics Contender.
