You know, Cajun and I were talking about this on the phone last night...

Bernie Sams from Claiborne was talking to my dad about Bernardini and the price set at 100k. The only thing that made sense to them was that the two biggest buyers at a sale are Coolmore and the Sheik.

Since the sheik will have most of the best-bred foals by Bernardini already, where does that leave the breeders who think they're going to be guaranteed a high 6 figure foal just because of sire recognition?

So the 100k was a smart move, limiting the sales effect the boycott will have on outside breeders...

anywho, return to topic...
