IEAH has raised a ton of capital from some wall street bigwigs and absolutely has to spend that cash and get a Derby prospect. I'm sure that this horse was on their radar as a horse they could justify spending big money for especially considering that they did so well with a son of his brother. He has well known connections and is easily marketed to novices they recruited who happen to have tons of cash to burn.

If he retired right now I cant see him standing for more than $7500 in this market. The 100 mares a year for 3 years is not really pertinent at this level. #1 because these types get very little 2nd and 3rd year action because the fear of breeding to a cheap and cold stud and #2 because virtually no one has to pay full fee for stallions that dont have great demand.

Personally I love IEAH and hope that I am lucky enough to be able to sell a horse to them. Why should Sheikh Mo be the only overpayer on the market?
