I don't think it has won any. Could be wrong though.
Let me check if I can come up with anything.

Got it

4 times 3rd
2 times 2nd
1 win

Did not total up the stakes but all in 60k to 70k races EXCEPT a 3rd in the R150 000.00 Strelitzia which we won on Passive Resistance,

That's why I remember it vividly.

Aaah, and I think it was unraced and unfortunately died as a yearling with Marwing?

Is this the "nice to gloat" thread?

I think Horse of The Year Pocket Power was the most expensive yearling on his sale, and Dynasty was close to top price. Igugu was a R1,000,000. What does it prove if a well bred and great looking yearling just doesn't have "it"? So what's the point?

Geez Jack ,why so defensive?I have personally not got involved in the threads relating to AUCTIONS because I am certain that resolution to the issues,causing all the heat, will be dictated by legislation,but the one interesting point from those threads was the discussion relating to perceived value of a horse at yearling stage.My personal belief is that it is probably the most inexact science there is,as I challenge even the consistently successful buyers, to accurately put a PECUNIARY value at auction stage, to be compared at career end(including breeding, if applicable ,of course)
I suggest that this thread may be intending to illustrate that point rather than a gloat..........just my opinion of course.
