Using that as an "expected value", you would need a minimum of 9 to 10 years of reproductive and physical health from Midnight Bisou to meet that $4 million number, not to mention the miss percentage. That could be her entire reproductive usefulness.
From an investor's perspective, this makes all the safe-sense in the world.
From a breeder's perspective, owning such a mare to improve the breed and swing for the fences on a big time foal - just one - might make sense.

How many broodmares have produced 4 mil plus in offspring revenue...not a lot but virtually none of this stuff ever makes dollars and sense
