Actually, as a 2yo he sold for $8,500. A year before, as a yearling, he sold for $180,000. Quite a drop-off, though he was part of a large dispersal (Conquest Stables). He was unraced at the time he was sold late last year, but likely in full training, as he made his debut only a few weeks later for the new connections. Does not run in front wraps according to the race charts.
