Im not saying Adagio is crippled. He will never be worth more than where hes running. Those guys are busted probably need to pay off a couple armanis. 15 seems reasonable. SOmebody coulud have fun with that horse and be hard to get hurt.
Bid, the first half of your post seems to contradict the 2nd. From it's last couple of races, the horse would appear to be worth a lot more that $15K. To be worth $15K, there have to be some significant issues. When there are significant issues, buyers can indeed get hurt.

The scratch probably saved me from a losing bet. Formal King won with ease.
