The cross has worked in the past. He was a big, beautiful horse that looked like he handled the whole stresses of the sale well. He comes from an incredible breeder, Airdrie Stud. You have a lot of confidence going in and buying off of those guys. Mr. and Mrs. Low, they were in love with him when I took them over there and showed them to them. And we just got lucky and we had to stretch a little bit, but you always stretch for the good ones.”The post ‘A Big, Beautiful Horse From An Incredible Breeder’: Not This Time Colt Brings $1.5 Million appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
