The conformation couldn't have been all that wonderful to only sell for 115k with all that pedigree.

It was a seriously good piece of work in the under-tack video, and being a colt, it was going to obviously sell for many times the yearling price. However, $1.8 million was shocking to me. Would never have guessed that high.
