I sold Ocelli for 12k, yesterday he ran 3rd in the
@KentuckyDerby & won 500k.
And gues what? I'm celebrating.
Because of what this means for everything we still have.
Ocelli's brothers just became a lot more valuable. His mom Zalia is now a queen.
The bloodline we've been building for years just got validated on the biggest stage in racing.
One horse running 3rd at
@ChurchillDowns does more for your breeding program than a decade of "he has potential" conversations ever could.
But there's a bigger lesson here.
Everyone passed on Ocelli because he had a "weird gait." Moved different. Didn't fit the template.
Turns out that weird gait was elite. Top 3 in the world elite.
The market constantly undervalues things that don't fit the mold. In horses. In real estate. In people.
The ones who move different aren't always broken.
Sometimes they're just built for something the rest of us can't see yet.
