00:00Kara Karo is a son of Uncle Moe.
00:11He was a TDN Rising Star.
00:14After the success of his two-year-olds and after Western Memorial winning the Kentucky
00:18Juvenile, the future looks bright for him.
00:21He had great two-year-old sales.
00:23The 14 of them averaged $157,000 off a $6,500 advertised fee.
00:30Donato Lonnie bought the Session Topper for $775,000 for three Amigos.
00:36There were a lot of good people that bought them.
00:38Bradley Weisbord and Liz Crow bought one for Racing Partnership, Taproot, Fergus Galvin,
00:46a lot of big buyers.
00:47What's interesting, too, is six of them brought six figures, which out of the 14, that's pretty
00:53huge.
00:54OBS March, we bought a Colt, Kara Karo Colt, out of Fame and Fortune.
00:59Horse breezed really nice, galloped out really well, really pretty physical, had a lot of
01:04that Uncle Moe balance.
01:06The real Ruffian Colt that we bought in April was really just a standout on the track.
01:11He went fast, galloped out, just kept going.
01:14He was out in 58 or something like that for the 5.8s.
01:18Every time I saw him, he was just a happy, good-feeling horse.
01:20It didn't take anything out of him.
01:23One of the things we liked the most also at the two-year-old sale was the Monds.
01:26They were well kept together and just seemed like gamers.
01:32He was very talented.
01:33He ran against some really good horses, obviously placed in the Travers, which is as good a
01:37race as there is out there.
01:39I think he, unfortunately, probably wasn't able to really do all that he was capable
01:44of doing, but I think he showed enough flash of talent that you'd like to see to show that
01:49he could throw that with his progeny.
01:52It's pretty easy to look him up and see the Uncle Moe and see the pedigree and think to
01:58yourself, hey, this horse had a flash of brilliance.
02:01He could be the next son of Uncle Moe.
02:04This horse could be huge.
02:06He's got a powerful hip, great bone, super correct.
02:10The strength and power of Uncle Moe and the size of Uncle Moe, but then he's a shorter
02:16back horse, more like War Front, really great Phipps family going back to Lady Be Good.
02:24Uncle Moe has been truly an elite stallion.
02:29The number of stallions that he's had go to stud, he's already looks like to be truly
02:34a sire of sires.
02:36West Memorial is just a glimmer of the bright future that Karakaro is going to have.
02:41Here comes West Memorial down the center of the track, kicking away by two.
02:47And Strummon's on the scene late as well, but it's West Memorial, upset winner by two
02:52in the end.
02:54West Memorial is a special horse.
02:56From day one, she was very, very alert, very well focused, knew what her job was.
03:03I mean, this filly wants to run long.
03:06She can run either way.
03:07She proved that the other day.
03:09You know, honestly, it was a great day for the stud because I like the people of Crestwood.
03:14They are just absolutely great people to do work with.
03:17It seems like they've got a really nice one here with this horse.
03:20I mean, he's got a great start, a great start.
03:22A lot of people, a lot of my friends in Oak Tower are talking about him.
03:26They're easy to handle, easy to break, straightforward, well balanced.
03:32He just throws a really nice product.
03:35The son of Uncle Bo can get you any type of horse, and that versatility, I think, is
03:39great in today's market because you have a horse that can do it all.
03:43We've done the stallions for a long time, and I think this might be the horse that's
03:46going to hit big for us.
