I know it remains to be seen how the horse turns out, but I wonder if Padua was armed with the info you just posted. For an owner that was fleeced at the sales his first few years, then had the guts to step up and do something about it, buying a seemingly overpriced horse like this appears very "back to their old tricks".

I read in another thread that the guy who picked out Zenyatta and Odysseus is there ... maybe he liked him a lot. Who knows.
Either way .. the horse was a 75K yearling six months ago ... and while it showed a nice stride in the under-tack show ... 275K seems like a bit of a reach considering the pedigree and that the horse didn't exactly show overwhelming raw speed.
