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.
