Look just because you lost a debate doesnt mean you have to lie. Go ahead and find one post where I said anything negative about West Point, go ahead and look. You won't find any. I assume you are referencing the two year old I spoke of when you say unproven. If you go back and reread my posts you will see that i said EXPENSIVE yearlings. That is specifically what I said. This particular horse was one that Linda Rice(the trainer) liked when she came to see a bunch of another friend's yearlings. The seller didn't want much for her and her sire looked promising, Freud. The particular buying client is looking to build a broodmare band and one of the ways he is going about it is to swing the bat on younger sires whose horses go for modest prices. He also loves and understands the NY bred program, where buying one for 30 grand, you can get most of it back winning just one race. It was what is called a "niche" buy. I simply went out and found what he was looking for using the assistance of someone who knows how to look at yearlings(I do not, and certainly have never claimed to). Any more questions?
