does anyone know what her reserve was?

Paulson said the final bid came close to her reserve, but declined to disclose that figure to a Courier-Journal reporter who covered the story.

why the fguck dont they give her back to laura desouroux .i mean her trainer .why wont they keep her .this proves that the horse racing industry is all bout the money and the horses are worthless.that why i got out of game and no one goes to horse races anymore look at grand stand at belmont.3000 people a day that holds 200,00.SAD

nice mare . I always watch the keenland sales . Shame she did not sell she is great horse and is bred to a great stallion.

I wouldn't give up on Take Control just yet. I'm sure his owners will do everything possible to rehab him. He's too talented to give up on.

The filly from this breeding is being offered as Hip # 13 in the upcoming Keeneland yearling sale.

i agree with most of you on her value but as a person viewing it from the breeding side she is not worth more then 400k. just look at her offspring

1.ARIENZA (USA) by giants causeway. NEVER RACED. sold at keenland in 09 for 800k

2. TAKE CONTROL by AP indy sold for 1.9 mill at 09 2yo keenland sale ran once and won. hasnt raced since.

i dont know what thiese people where thinking but a mare with under performing offspring is not worth what she went for.

[ThePixiePoet]

She is worth MUCH MORE! How frustrating!

2002 Horse of the Year! In foal to another Horse of the Year (2004) !!

How many times in history has this ever come up??

Rachel Alexandra was purchased for reportedly over $10 million!

Is $4.4 all they can come up with? Where is Jess Jackson??

[fudgigulizle]

She's sublime, she should have sold for way more. Damn economy...

[TrotSlow]

omg i have no idea what the auctioneer is saying! it sounds like he's singing its so fast!

[Tammicat21]

Wow..sounds like 5 mil was the reserve..I would sure hate to be sitting there with my hand stuck out full of 4.4 mil and after all that action she just walks away......I would be brokenhearted. She is a stunner!
