A lot of people have asked me why Nutella Fella only brought $12k... Many buyers walked away because he had "findings" on the barn sheet x-ray report. We knew it wasn't a big deal but could only shake our heads as buyers turned away...
Marion Ravenwood grazing on a hot Kentucky afternoon. The dam of Nest and Idol just produced her 3rd stakes winner yesterday. Lost Ark smashed 'em in the Sapling. What a queen of a mare.
Wonderful article in the TDN today about Mom, Dad and Ashview. Accidentally, the wrong photo of Mom was used. I'm hear to tell the industry that Ashview Farm would be nothing without Muffy Lyster and she has always quietly taken the backseat to any headline of Ashview success.
I'm a conservative who wants more gun control. Took my family over a year of FBI background checks to get a silencer permit so we could manage a deer population on our farm. I see no reason why the same shouldn't be true for assault rifles.
Fantastic article about a couple farms diverting catastrophe last year. Well done Ben Henley and Gerry Duffy. Moral of the story....RAISE THEM OUTSIDE!!!!

It amazes me how many mares sell for less money than the stud fee it took to release the stallion cert to bring them to the sale. The market is solid but the breeding game is never easy!
We had a colt that was vetted 6 times yesterday @keenelandsales. All 6 vets made use of the video scope we provided and didn't ask to scope themselves. A special thanks to all the buyers and their vets who are comfortable using videos. It's better for the horse, I promise
Awesome to see Watts and Salley Humphrey win the gold tray at Keeneland today. There isn't a more loyal, classy or modest owner in the industry. Well deserved.
Once again, Keeneland Session 2 crushes Session 1 in every sales statistic...17% higher average, 75K higher median, 10% lower RNA rate. I hope Book 1 Buyers recognize this!!! I promise you the horses aren't better every year on day 2, the alphabet doesn't discriminate!!!
@allairewryan@CBAKy@keenelandsales@TaylorMadeMark@MachmerHall@patdrumkenny RUNHAPPY!!!!!! Discount is an understatement, he would have brought 3 times the purchase price!!! Everyone failed him for a blemish in an ankle. Mattress mack was smart enough to take a "chance" on him....(ankle never bothered him)
Both my grandfathers and my father served our country. My Granda Bud, Wayne G. Lyster II, was shot in the head on Iwo Jima and paralyzed on the right side of his body, enduring a very painful rest of his life. I'm very thankful for all their sacrifice. GOD BLESS AMERICA
