I'm not disregarding "hands on experience" nor am I slapping you in the face, all I'm saying is that you are making the EXTREMLY simplistic view that because AP Indy is the sire, than that is the sole reason, when there could be a number of reasons for the feet issues

Again.. I can't speak for now.. I haven't placed my hands on AP Indy and looked at him myself.. but I have read various accounts of when AP Indy was on sale as a yearling and he was and I quote, 'FLAWLESS AS FLAWLESS CAN BE"... besides the fact that we was a ridgling and if he wasn't he would have sold for more than 2.9 million.



You don't think so??? Let me tell you...lots of horses with terrible conformations have sold for millions...

I watched some of the sale today and I saw a lot off good looking Tapit's go for prices ($30000-$60000) that I thought would sell higher. But I also saw some good looking individuals with weak pedigrees go for $50000 plus. It's a crazy game..
