...weekend parties, the talk was peppered with the names of sires: What A Pleasure, Round Table, Sir Ivor, Northern Dancer. A casual comment about one filly brought the quick question: "How was she bred, ma'am?" The equally quick answer: "By Secretariat out of Crimson Saint by Crimson Satan, seven wins in eleven starts for over $90,000." That yearling was gaveled off at Keeneland a few days later for $275,000; another, by Bold Bidder, went for $400,000, just $5,000 shy of the record for a filly...
