12,500? I hope they are not asking for AMERICAN dollars...

My reaction was the same thing. I thought they meant pesos when I saw 12,500.

Why breed to him for $12500 when you'll be able to buy his baies for $2000 in a few years.

Maybe a rich Amish person...to pull a cart up and down my road :D
Plodder of the Year '05/'06 - A.H.!

you know Randall?
LOL just kidding rand...

You have to admit though, as outrageous as that sounds at first glance, when you consider how many other incredibly average horses are/have recently gone to stud with higher outrageous fees, this one isn't so bad. I know that sounds crazy, but take a look at the stallion register if you want to read some comedy.

You think they'll bring that much?!!!

yeah they'll run them up

I just don't understand why people don't stand horses like this one and Sharp Humor in a place like NY where Distorted Humor blood and Fu Peg blood would be a fresh thing, and where people might actually support these stallions.
It simply makes no sense to me to stand a horse in Ky at 12,500 when you know they will be up against it commercially and be competing against the best.
But what folks do is stand em and figure that out THEN send em to a place like NY when they are already perceived as cold commercially.
You'd think a state with a breeding program like Ny's would be able to attract some decent stallions right off the track instead of having to wait for perceived failures. I wish someone could explain this to me.

SEND EM TO ILLINOIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you 100% on this.

I'd pay $12,500...











to see who would actually pay $12,500 for An-beatenlikea-drumeda's Hero!

For heaven's sake, Mighty Magee is a better sire than him.

LaPenta sold him to the group that is standing him and supposedly they know what they are doing, but I can think of plenty of good horses with better records and a bit of interest in racing, that I could get for for alot less money.

Vote Please
 

How many mares will he cover in 2007??



My guess is 10 max, and the people that breed to him are probally the jockey and trainers that got free breedings for the Graded placings he earned. Poor horse will never get to bust a load:eek:

He'll get more then 10 because their will be some people trying to squeeze every drop of the Mr. Prospector line out of him.......

My favorite part is that the article lists him as a full to Superfly.


Superfly?


Superfly?




LMFAO!!!!!!!

Is that horse even a stakes winner? I didn't even see that in the article......

His claim to fame would have to be, seriously, a distant second to Discreet Cat in that one's debut.

Actually, I was referring to Superfly. As far as Andromeda's Hero, I think he won a Grade 3 stake late last year at Calder, maybe the Fred Hooper.
