Let me give you another example of the market at play in KY. Remember the TC winner? No way he wouldn't get a full book, right? But he wasn't filling at $200k, they'd overpriced him. They started calling clients and offering a 2 for 1 deal, essentially lowering him to $100k to fill the book. ............

Best way to enter the breeding shed is to win the triple crown and follow that up with a BCC win. AP may have been priced high but they knew the buzz would die down and they'd have to lower the price the next year.
As his 2-yr-old babies hit the track next year, the buyers will have a better idea of what exactly they are getting. It's all about performance from here on out.
You brought up good points about Arrogate's UBS pedigree, I had forgotten about that. If he retires with three straight losses, and no triple crown wins on his resume, with that pedigree, I don't see him getting six figures, to start anyway.
The San Diego loss looks like hell. No wonder Baffert is kicking himself for racing him there.
