00:00Well, it's exciting to have the opportunity to sell a broodmare like Perfect Alibi.

00:16She kind of comes full circle.

00:19I can remember when she was a yearling, she got to Saratoga and I remember walking to

00:23the courtyard where she was selling with Denali and they brought her out and it was like,

00:28wow.

00:29Her physical was what we loved about her.

00:30She was just a big, strong-looking filly, but we knew she was going to be very precocious.

00:34She was just so well-balanced and had a great hip on her, a great shoulder.

00:39We didn't realize she was going to do what she did first time out.

00:42She broke her maiden by nine and a half first time out at Churchill in mid-May.

00:46We knew she'd be precocious.

00:48We didn't know she would be that precocious.

00:51She just tried so hard.

00:53She had such a high cruising speed and she just loved to win.

00:58And they're trying to squeeze through and getting through on the inside is Big Q2.

01:02Perfect Alibi and on the inside, Frank's Rockette is driving on through late and then comes

01:07Miss Pepina.

01:08They're coming down to the wire.

01:09It's going to be Perfect Alibi.

01:12Perfect Alibi.

01:13And then leading into the spinaway, we knew she would just get better with distance.

01:16It was a very, very good field that she ran against that day, but she showed that she

01:22loved Saratoga and she proved that day that she was the best two-year-old on the East

01:25Coast that year.

01:26Perfect Alibi squeezing through on the inside of Frank's Rockette and she takes the lead

01:32and she's going to win the spinaway.

01:35Perfect Alibi.

01:36It takes a special horse to a couple of greatest stakes wins together at Saratoga as a two-year-old.

01:41And she did it with style.

01:42She did it with flair.

01:43She accomplished that.

01:44And the way that she did it was very, very, very impressive.

01:47And you know, she's a remarkable race filly.

01:51She's an absolutely elite broodmare.

01:53You don't get your hands on many of these kinds of broodmares that were so good at two.

01:58So Precocity is the name of the game.

02:01At the level that Tracy and Carol play in this game, she's probably meant the world

02:06to them.

02:08For the farmers to give us a grade one winner and fold into mischief means a lot to us.

02:13And we're extremely appreciative for the chance.

02:17Tracy and Carol love all of their horses and she's special because they love going to the

02:21races.

02:22They love winning at Saratoga, you know, to have a filly of that class and it's not easy

02:27to come by.

02:28So it certainly means a lot to them.

02:30The contributions that Penn Oaks made to the breeding industry, it's really unique and

02:34cool to have a filly of this caliber that they produced and they bred, offered for sale

02:39and folded a horse like into mischief, you know, leading sire in the world.

02:43And you're talking about getting a mare off in the right way.

02:47She could be carrying a top caliber broodmare prospect.

02:52She could be carrying a stallion, being as precocious as she was.

02:58Sky Mesa himself has proven to be a good broodmare sire already.

03:02He's the broodmare sire three grade one winner.

03:05So the sky's the limit.

03:07I think she'll appeal to a broad range of buyers who want to compete at the top end

03:11of this game.

03:12She'll be incredibly appealing to domestic buyers.

03:16And I think that the Japanese buyers especially will love her.

03:20I think Perfect Alibi has worldwide appeal.

03:22She's got the combination of race record.

03:26She's got pedigree.

03:27She's got the physical looks that people are going to really, really, really desire.

03:32The end of the day, the buyer is not going to need any alibis.

03:36That's going to be really the perfect opportunity for some of the top buyers in the world to

03:40pursue a mare of her quality.

03:42And I can't wait to see what she does in her career.
