Half sister to Well Said fetches $300,000 for Australian buyer.

Hip number 67, Look And Listen, the Rocknroll Hanover half sister to Little Brown Jug winner and multi millionaire harness racing star, Well Said, sold for $300,000 on Monday (Nov. 2) at the Standardbred Horse Sale to Emilio Rosati of Cohdell Park, New South Wales, Australia.

“She’s a terrific looking filly, great bred filly,” said Steve Jones, who co-bred the filly with consignor Fair Winds Farm. “There is no weanling, but the mare (Must See) is in foal to Somebeachsomewhere and that’s who we’re going to breed her to next year, I guess.”

TheSpec.com – Sports – Pacer’s trainer defends decision to bypass ’08 Jug.

For the second consecutive year, Brent MacGrath did not attend last week’s Little Brown Jug. Instead, he watched the American classic from the comfort of an easy chair in his Bible Hill, N.S., home.

A year ago he was the centre of much debate because he did not race three-year-old Somebeachsomewhere in the race and that decision continues to spur arguments on both sides, but not in MacGrath’s mind.

“Well Said (this year’s winner) was the best horse but there was nothing I saw in the race that made me think I should have taken Beach there last year,” said MacGrath, who is back in the role as partner and operations manager for two automobile dealerships in Nova Scotia.
