They're not all champions (well, his 3rd dam is and his 2nd dam set a NTR against Darby Creek Road), but enough of them have enough accomplishments I don't see why it's laughable that he'd be getting interest. He's got precocity but won a classic race. What's not to like? The only thing that comes immediately to mind is his lack of a triple digit Beyer.
I said he wasnt the best bred, i didnt say he was poorly bred. Hes not a bode, imo hes not a top player, and right now when money is tight, many go to tried and true studs. The speculation was about just how much demand there was, and from whom.
