the named foals are going to sell for less because usually they are from regional markets. breeders in ky do not in general name their foals but I have found that breeders in florida esp. tend to name their horses as weanlings. With the regional breeding often comes regional sires with lower stud fees and less quality pedigrees, hence the difference in average.

I guess you can take a chance on a new sire when the stud fee is low but not when those new sires are crossed on mares with no page. They could be from a good female family but with nothing on the ground or racing it's hard to justify the money.
