Absolute Investment - no sale - McWhirter's wouldn't let him go for the winning bid of only $92,000.00

Sounds like they're not exactly in desperation mode!

I don't think they're dispersing because of financial reasons. I think they've been in business for several decades and want to retire/do something else.

We were at the sale and seen all the horses in all their glory! Absolute Investment didn't look as good in person as on paper, but that's just my humble opinion. Anyhow, he was the only one that they reserved the right to no sale. They wanted $250,000 for him, at least that's what I heard!

I have the prices of 90% of the horses written down if anyone is interested. We left momentarily to go to a tack sale that was going on at the same time, as well as the horse show next door.

It was standing room only for about the first 20 horses, Absolute Investment was #14. After that it thinned out but the seating was still full. Then it gradually got smaller as the sale went on. But as far as I'm aware, nothing sold for under $1000
