Just got back from Little King, and what a great time! It was warm ,but not hot, and of course the Eberths and their family and staff are wonderful.
Here are the prices, and some comments as I remember them. It was a 6 hour drive home, so bear with me!
Lot A was a very nice gray Substitution - son of Buckeroo-- Little Kings' Buck Amadeus.
They had the fireman's helmet on the stage, and during the auction of this colt, they had 3 representatives from the First Department. They had Ray Zoercher read a touching account of the day and the loss of Greg Cloud. Not a dry eye in the place during that. Yes, 3 farms, (one was ERL) bought him for $15,000 and then donated him back. I think Pine Ridge then bought him for $10, 000, but not sure.
Lot 1 - Nice little gray pinto filly - $1,500
2 - $2,000
