Should’ve just sold it for $115 and be done with it
Reserves are joke
It should be sold at market value,
Not over inflated egotistical breeders price

$340k or something similar for Lot 471 by the average Starcraft from a female family with no black type until the third generation.  

Agree. There are a couple of high profile first season sires in some trouble too, namely Flying Artie and Astern.

I think the reserves reflect laziness on the part of the vendors, in many cases. The auction house just adds $5k to the last bid for the sake of giving/printing a reserve. The vendors should tell the the auction house what the reserve is, preferably before the auction of the horse starts or at least as it leaves the sales ring.

It'll be very interesting to see the composition and fee schedule of the Newgate roster for the upcoming season. Surely Sizzling is gone, Flying Artie gets a price cut, Dissident? Do they persevere when the market clearly thinks he's gone. Super One is another that will need to start kicking goals, but he was a dodgy proposition from the get-go.

Thoughts on Maurice yearlings V price ?

And Extreme Choice with a 46% fertility rate in his first year of 118 mares is questionable. It improved to 81% when the book was cut (one way or another) to 68 in his second year.
