Understanding purchase price with an unspectacular mare in the mix can be so useful. 

SECOND RACE: A Maiden Special Weight at five furlongs on the TURF. Top selection is BULLWHACKER (#1). He debuts for Mendez, a guy who used to fire often with debut runners, and today, this gelding has plenty of foundation in place. Notice he began working at Dixie Downs, a red soil track in Utah before coming west, and what strikes us is that he was a 600,000 purchase, a huge price out of a mare who was 0-2 on the track, and being this was her first foal, had nothing to show on the bottom side, thus, a big, big price telling us the horse is really put together well.

Another nice debut winner, returning $18.40.
