 Probably not significant, but the people I have spoken with said his ability to run on the dirt and turf make him an interesting horse.  Throw in a few track records and a few grade/group 1's and they will have no problem filling his book, just not at a huge price.  
I get the feeling he will be around for a few years though because the money they could make off him at stud is nothing to them, especially if Barbaro turns out ok.  Barbaro is a cash register in the breeding shed.  Showing Up could even be around at 5 if he stays on the grass.  I hope so because the US needs a turf horse that we can ship over to Europe and win a big race.
