We have been in the same position as well over the years and cannot afford up our choice of stallions. As we all know nice horses can come from anywhere if they are given the right opportunities.  The thing I find hard is that sometimes you look at some of the yearlings in other books and their prices do not stack up pedigree wise due conformation issues, but they are still allowed into that sale. When there may be an absolute stunner of a yearling without that upper edge pedigree with a smaller consigner or individual who does not get that opportunity to be stepped up in book.

The way we see it is that you are better to be in the higher end of a book and stand out, than being in the lower end with lots of others.

One thing to consider is placing your yearling in the draft of a high profile vendor/consignor. Assuming they take the yearling on, it may cost you a bit more but it would help you get out of Book 3. The vendor is unlikely to take it on if it is not a good type, so getting past that step is should give you confidence. In some ways it would be better if it is someone you don't know as then you know they are not doing it "to help a mate".

I know someone with a similar case to Skoozi who tried that theory once.  Distinct difference between the presentation of a "well known breeder" and his.
