Can't answer that question because we don't know how either is going to produce.
Just because a horse wins a triple crown (or has tremendous success on the track) doesn't ensure success over the long run in the shed. Storm Cat, Mr. P or Affirmed, Secretariat?
Her value would be to sell her babies at auction. Why would the owners care about that with the money they have? They are going to breed her and race her babies. If she happens to produce a triple crown winner, they will retire him to stud for an outrageous fee, but if his first couple crops don't produce, that will be the end of the money printing.
It's all speculative, but I will stand by my statement that it is apples and oranges.
