Still won 5 two year old races.  Not many do that anywhere.

Isn't Fastnet Rock proving himself as a broodmare sire?

It helps.  But they've also chosen her on type and conformation. 

So Wootton Bassett won 5 2y.o races and Avantage did too?🤪

Your point?  I imagine that emoji you use quite often is the closest there is to a self portrait.

My point....accuracy...you can't seem to make up your...mind.

So you maintain that Avantage won 5x 2.y.o races...or ??

Or what?

Her form line was 111121 as a two year old.

There's 5 firsts in that form line.  Hint: a 1 = a win.

Very good.I was a bit confused.WB won 5 races as a 2 y.o.

That's what I said.

If you didn't know Avantage won 5 as a two year old then you have no hope in hell in putting a market value on her.

I am not trying to put a value on her.

Are you valuing her?

You really are an "anti-fan" bullshitter.  If you haven't valued her then how do you know $2.1m is too much?  You didn't even know Avantage's 2yr old record!

Why do you bother commenting on things you state you don't have an interest in?

Stop making stuff up.I am interested in alot of things.

Avantage did not sell for 2.1mil,her yearling did.

Yearlings sell for what some party is prepared to pay.The dam is hardly the only factor.Surely you as a self confessed 'player' understand this!🙄

Correct Avantage sold for double that.  $4.1m

So the TA crew would likely have been considerably better off keeping her and breeding her to WB instead of selling her, I mean in the long run. 

Amazing the swings and roundabouts in racing you sell a mare to a stud by their Sire for $4.1m then end up buying her first yearling for $2.1m oh the irony of it all!

The TA stable or stud didn't own her.  The Syndicate did and the rule of the Syndicate is that she is sold at Auction at the end of her career.  You only have to look at the differences of opinion on BOAY to understand its a great rule!
