Youtube thinks it knows what I want to watch. I watch online horse auctions. This afternoon, they're offering an online horse auction.
The Fasig Tipton Midlantic May Two-Year-Olds in Training auction. I looked at the catalog - 586 horses, although several are withdrawn. I watched a few minutes on youtube, too rich for my blood. Saw one go for $285,000. Saw one go for $12,000. I'm feeling a little better about myself, that I could tell the difference the moment they walked into the sale ring.
Still, 586 two year olds. They're not all going to make it to the Kentucky Derby next year. I hope they all have soft landings.
Update - 4 horses sold over $1,000,000. 21 over $500,000. 326 sold, 104 reserve not met, the rest were withdrawn before the sale.
