At the Start
Fasig-Tipton's boutique sale last night was incredibly buoyant in a wavering economy. Havre De Grace was the highlight of the night - her bidding was opened by a video presentation of her racing feats culminating in her being crowned Horse of the Year. Collier then added his own weight to the sentiments by quoting Shakespeare; "Some are born great, some have greatness thrust upon them and some achieve greatness. Havre De Grace achieved greatness". In a scintilating five minutes she sold for ten million dollars eclipsing the previous record for a broodmare prospect.
It wasn't just one stand out lot that marked the sale as something special though. Fifteen lots crossed the million dollar barrier. That is remarkable for a one day sale in any economy!
