honeslty i think you could do worse if you are strictly a breed to sale person

i mean, the horse looked so good he cost 16 million dollars.

get some babies in the 2YOIT circuit that run blazing fast, he will get some sales horses

No, he is the biggest joke in the industry.. No horse looks (looked) $16 mill good at any sale. It was a pissing match between 2 monster egos.

Don't kid yourself on that horse if you're looking for a sale horse.

Beware, the "Racing Gods" read this board religiously. And they will dig your quote out of the archives right before he is named leading two year old sire...

He'd actually make a nice QH (or stock horse) stallion. Some of them might even be able to run. 2 furlongs!

I'll stand by the not worth a quarter. He certainly wasn't. It takes more than mascara and a halter. Something called performance. He showed no ability to actually race and the Dubai boys really pulled the rug out from underneath the Coolmore gang in that sale. The whole gang turned bright green.
