FANTASY RACING 4 (2YO selections)
 

Now it's time to choose our 2yo runners. Here's how it works:

Firstly, there will be the "auctions" of the top priced horses and these auctions will conclude on the Sunday night. Then starting on the Monday night, all of the remaining horses in the category will be available for anyone to claim.

In the 2YO category, you can choose a total of 1 to 3 horses and spend a maximum of $500,000.



Please read the rules carefully:

Rules:

As soon as I post the list of horses, you can make a bid for any one of the horses up for "auction". These horses are listed in bold. When you post a bid, please set it out clearly with the full name of the horse and your bid. For example:

Murtajill $300,000

You can make bids for more than one horse at a time if you wish, but PLEASE remember that you can't exceed the salary cap of $500,000 and you can't cancel any bids you make. So make sure that at any one time, you don't have leading bids for horses totalling more than $500,000.

The minimum bid you must make for a horse is the reserve price that I have listed next to the horse. If you make a bid and nobody else posts any bids at all for that horse, then it's yours. Bids must increase in increments of $5,000. In other words, if the current highest bid is $355,000, then you must bid at least $5,000 more; $360,000. You can raise the bid by more than $5,000 if you wish. ($10,000, $15,000, $20,000 etc)

Bids must be posted before the auction deadline to count. In other words, if the auction deadline for a particular horse is 7:00pm, then you must have your bid posted by no later than 6:59. Whichever person has the highest bid for the horse at the deadline time on Sunday night, will get the horse. If two people happen to post the same bid at the same time, then the one whose post appears first on the forum will take precedence.

----------

After the auction has concluded on Sunday night, the sale for the remaining horses in the category will begin at 7pm Qld time on Monday night. The first person to claim each horse at the set price will get to buy it. As with the auction, if two people post the same horse at the same time, the one whose post appears first takes precedence.




I am leaving the selection of the 2yos open right up until the 31st of January, but obviously, if you take that long, you won't earn any prizemoney from the 2yo races held before then like the Blue Diamond previews on Jan 26.

It'll be interesting to see what happens here 2yo are impossible

I agree Raw 2yos are unpredicatable.

It is better to take 3 horses here rather than spending it all on 1 or 2 horses but I am sure a couple of these are going to go for the full 500K.

Good Luck.

Agree that the 2yos are a lottery, so I'll throw up the first bid.

MURTAJILL--$400,000

HUSSON LIGHTNING $500K

Victory Chant $500 k

Murtajill - $500,000

Danehill Smile $500 k

$500,000 . MIMI LEBROCK

Good--that's 6 of you out of the way

Not going to be a lot of action on Sunday night by the looks of it.

I liked Murtajill, Victory Chant and Danehill Smile, and I could easily have bought one of those early last night, but I didn't think it was really appropriate for me to do that. In any case, there are a few non-auction horses I am quite keen on.

Cheda,

You still have to choose a $100,000 horse in the 3YO thread.

Royal Asscher $500,000

Just bringing this back to the front page, so we don't forget.

Will be passing on the auction tonight

These ones have already gone:

MURTAJILL
MIMI LEBROCK
VICTORY CHANT
HUSSON LIGHTNING
DANEHILL SMILE
ROYAL ASSCHER
SLEEK CHASSIS

CAJOU - Unsold

Deferential 250,000

The time for some of these auctions haven't started yet, but you have already sold them
Cajou--$250,000

The sale time for ending Cajou is 6.00pm Qld time & 7.00pm NSW time)--time now is 6.00pm

Oh dear. Please forgive me. I don't know what happened with the times on the opening page, but they're not written in the order that they should be. For some reason I didn't put the horses in the correct order. :o

I'm sorry about that. I'll revert to the times listed on the first page, which means there's still a few minutes to bid for Deferential.

I've missed out on bidding for one that I wanted now thanks to my own mistake. :o

So is my bid for Cajou accepted?

Oh okay. Yes. I didn't know whether that was a bid or not. I thought you said you wouldn't be having a go at the auction tonight?

so is deferential sold again now?

Yep.

Sorry guys. :o

Wasn't going too, but thought 'what the heck'. Only have 2 others in mind, and will be able to pick them up for less than $250,000 so why not?

Thanks. Really liked the way he (nearly) beat Husson Lightning down the straight in Nov.

See you guys again tomorrow night.
