that could be Zenyatta's downfall. she sold dirt cheap as a baby even though shes a Street Cry half sister to the awesome mare Balance because buyers must have known that Zenyatta was very likely to break down because she didn't race until her 3yo season and buyers dont want to buy horses who dont race at 2 and are more likely to break down.
either that or they didnt want to spend any more for Zenyatta because they knew she was a slow learning dummy who would take forever to figure out how to run. it is all making sense to me all of a sudden.

The shiek is more afraid oil goes to 25 a barrel then some projection of what an Arezi foal may or may not be.. NO BREEDERS are interested in her because her price.. Nobody could justify making a profit on a 18 million dollar mare.
