I'd rather breed to a tenacious horse with lesser breeding and take my chances that I'd get a runner, a beast that wanted to beat horses.

The chances that he passes on his lack of desire to win are slim to none IMO. FuPeg was what I consider "tenacious" and he didn't pass on that tenacity to AH...
You just never know what you're going to get... a lot depends on the mare. I do believe that $12,500 is too high, but I believe he will get some nice runners, but we'll have to wait and see. He's definitely a nice looking horse.
