(Hip # 125, a dk/ b./ br. Colt by Forestry o/o President's Girl) “We thought he was very athletic, structurally well-made. He vetted out extremely well; looked athletic and solid, real good bloodlines, has a nice combination of stamina and speed. He’s just a very nice colt, a very nice colt.” John C. Oxley, “We thought he was the best horse in the sale and we got him for a fair price and they got a fair price for him. This market is soft, 250 to 450, and the top horse goes for about what twice the market is.” John T. Ward Jr., trainer for John C. Oxley   “I’m just thrilled that the Oxleys got him, because I used to hot walk and get on horses for [the Oxleys’ trainer] Johnny Ward, so that’s really great. “He could have really gone over the top with all the people we had on him, but that was right in the range that we predicted.” Meg Levy, owner of Bluewater Sales Fasig-Tipton July Select Yearlings was an excellent sale for BLUEWATER SALES, with 9 of 11 yearlings sold for a total of $880,000.
