    Posted: 28 Apr 2016 at 11:15pm
I know we have plenty of competitions already, but i'm just curious if there is enough interest in doing another one, where the basic idea would be that everybody picks one horse each from any yearling sale, and try to get the best return possible on the sale price and/or get the best bargain out of everybody's choice.

I would do all the work on it, as Dizzy and Gay3 already have their hands full, unless they were happy to chip in but regardless i am happy to do all the work.

So basically the rules would be everybody gets 1 yearling pick, and the overall ideas would be to pick the cheapest yearling to get a decent return on the track, not sure whether i would put an upper limit in the comp, something like 10k maximum purchase price, and/or a condition such as only focus on horses that stay in Aus, as obviously any horses that go to HK etc have a big advantage when it comes to prizemoney.

If people are interested let me know in this thread, if you think their is enough comps running already let me know as well, i suspect a few people might think this is the case.

I'll give it one more shot, but if not that's cool, i just thought it'd be a nifty idea trying to go bargain hunting.

I like the idea... though less than $10k is a very, very small pool of horses to choose from. Could we make it less than $20k, and the winner is the greatest % return on purchase price?

My girl was $12k... at $97k in prizemoney she'd have been a good one for this comp!!

I reckon it's a good idea too. Agree with SS that $20k is probably a fair limit.

Yeah the 10k was just thrown in there as a random number, i'm completely open to ideas, but i think the best way to do it would be prizemoney, coz obviously you could do things like get a filly and then eventually she gets sold as a broodie for a decent price, and considering fillies more likely to get retired early maybe go for colts only?

Again i'm just throwing ideas in here.

Agree with the prizemoney only being counted as opposed to sales prices. Maybe we should get a backup in case on retires early? But only use the backup if the horse is retired before their 4th birthday maybe..

Yeah a backup is pretty easy, we don't have to track them unless we use it, but you can only sub if dead or retired officialy, even though i know some are retired but not 'officially' so that could be a small snag.

Thoughts on oz racing only?  HK money is higher, nz and south africa very low.

Should be Aus only... easier comparison. Doubt there'd be too many in that price bracket being shipped out though??

A filly just won in South Africa that was bought for $5,000 so yes they go overseas at that price.  Some also find their way to Korea and Macau and Singapore in that price bracket.

Maybe the rule could be that if your first choice goes o/s your substitute gets activated.

I have to think something must be very wrong with the horse to go this cheap, but his page is just too good.

Were you at the Vobis Gold sale Ted? For this comp i started looking at the Nicconi's, only  on line, nice types, wonderful stallion percentage, and cheap. Deserves to do better.
For this comp, will probably settle on Lot 253, related to Bomber Bill, bought by D O'Sullivan for 10k
