Auction for stallion Badge shifts gears, picks up speed

On Saturday I made note that New York stallion Badge (Air Forbes Won-Revenge Time, by Raja's Revenge) had gone on sale at Thoroughlybred.com for an asking price of $25,000 or best offer.

Now the auction has shifted gears.

The opening bid was lowered to $5,000, with increments of $1,000, and after someone started the show at $5K, bidder No. 2 came along to up the ante to $15,000.

I'd noted in the prior post (linked above) that the stallion had been standing at Foggy Bottom Farm in Geneseo, N.Y., and while he hasn't thrown spectacular runners, he's thrown sturdy, competitive ones.

Feel free to read my complete thoughts on this stallion again.
