The handle on P6 rises so significantly when there is a C/O that I cannot foresee the venues with active P6 pools (So Cal and NY) ever going to less than $2. When a one day c/o is (say) $30k at...

Mares only get multiple covers if they don't "catch" on the first. If they get pregnant on the first cover they don't return to season. No one in their right might would expose a valuable stallion...
