The Delafield Hotel is a marvelous and very unique hotel. Its worth coming to the auction just to stay over night. We only live 30 minutes away but we're staying.

Coltman has some really nice stallions available. I think several of the youngsters are incredibly promnising. If you want to win futurities, we have the top futurity sires including The Last Don. This stallion's offspring have won here in Wisconsin in both 2008 and 2009 plus many other places. Some of his get are starting to make it to the show ring with impressive results.

By the way if you're also looking for a horse you are within an hour of 15 plus farms. Four are within 15 minutes. Our barns up here are heated so don't worry about the weather.

Does anyone know, How did the Auction went last night?

[GottaDrive]

I was there. The auction went well. The dollars were about the same as last year. And, I think we had the smallest number of unsold stallions almost ever or at least that I can remember. The hotel was incredible. We had a four poster king bed in our room and the bathroom was almost like a spa with a whirlpool tub and multi head shower. Lots of walnut paneling in the lobby and other seating areas. Reminds you of the libraries or drawing/smoking rooms in English manor houses in the movies. Memories of Sherlock Holmes. The room rate was good, $100/night and food was excellent.
