BTW, who if the hell sells a champion horse anyway? That should tell you just how effed up this whole industry is. That particular owner says, UNCLE, enough is enough, the industry is a joke and he wants out.
Supply and demand is what makes any industry go round. This particular industry has very little going for it other than the degenerate gamblers... Too many unsound, suspect horses are floating around racing at garbage tracks and breeding to far too many mares. The field sizes are too small, there are too many races at too many tracks, purses are too small, cost of operation are too high, taxes are too much, insurance premiums are outrageous. As it is its a losing proposition for many/most involved. It has to be changed.

people sell champions quite often. better than honour is arguably the most valuable broodmare on the face of the earth, she's up for sale next month.
hard as it is to get owners into the game, who automatically face at least 30k a year per horse in training...and you want to make it more burdensome? yeah, makes sense.
