My favorite part is that the article lists him as a full to Superfly.

Superfly?

Superfly?

LMFAO!!!!!!!

Is that horse even a stakes winner? I didn't even see that in the article......

His claim to fame would have to be, seriously, a distant second to Discreet Cat in that one's debut.

Actually, I was referring to Superfly. As far as Andromeda's Hero, I think he won a Grade 3 stake late last year at Calder, maybe the Fred Hooper.

His breeding isnt bad. Who knows how his off-spring will do on the track. Maybe talent skipped him, but maybe he can pass it on to his babies. He has a little too much inbreeding for me but who doesnt these days. He did sell for $310k so who knows. But I wouldnt pay $12,500 for him.

Agree with eurobounce. I wouldn't pay 12,500 either, but I don't think the price is *all* that ridiculous, based on the current ridiculous market. His pedigree isn't bad at all. Had 24 starts, most of them graded stakes. Did he retire sound? I don't remember hearing about any soundness issues with him.(I really don't remember) At least he showed up to most of the big dances. Wasn't ever the best dancer, but he was consistent. (sure, mostly consistently, uh.....slow, but he did grab some paychecks here and there)

Give him a break, you guys!

Suzanne give him a break about what?
He had no speed, and 12,500 is still one hell of a lot of money.
He's the kinda horse who may have done well in a niche market, not in Ky at 12,500.
He'll end up in a niche market at 3500 or 5000 in a few years, but only after hes wasted 2-3 years languishing at a ridiculous price in KY.

agree with this completely...if they start him @ 7,500 he might do OK but he's gonna stand around and get fat @ 12,500...should have sent him to a regional market where he can be a big fish....cause like you said he's bound to end up there sooner or later anyway.
