Here's the thing I don't understand. If EVERYbody [you, me, the girl selling popcorn] knows he's kind of a phony, why don't those paying these exorbitant stud fees know it too? If he loses a couple more big time races, so what? But if he ends up winning them [not that he would anyways], it can only enhance his value.
Besides, at this point in the year they CAN wait the 90 days and see what happens. Breeding season is over you schmucks!!!!!
