I don't know how many on this board follow Stud Fees and sales prices as published by BRIS. The 8th race at GP tomorrow has 2 horses ( #2 Every Cloud and #4 Sylellistick ) who both came about for a stud fee of $500,000.00 to Storm Cat. The owner/breeder of #2 has kept the horse, but the breeder of #4 had sold his horse at the Keeneland Sales Sept. 2000 to Team Valor for $225.000.00. Now did Team Valor get a bargain and the owner/breeder loose $275,000.00, or was the owner/ breeder willing to loose 1/4 million because he knows something ?
Sometimes an owner/breeder will loose a couple thousand at an auction, but I can't remember an amount this large, usually the profit is handsome. I can't fault Team Valor for their puchases in the past, but this one would make me wonder.
And so it goes
