Could someone please explain this? I looked at the Fasig Tipton catalogue for Saratoga for today and tomorrow. There are 7 UBS yearlings in the sale. I also looked at the sales results from the July 13 and 14 sale in Kentucky. Two of the three UBS yearlings sold. One sold for $160,000 and the other sold for $225,000.

I don't get it. Who in their right mind would pay that kind of money for those two horses? Why is there still a demand for UBS babies? Clearly if there is a demand they will still breed him and that's a really big shame.
