I am not so sure about that. You will not find foal shares from the farms or syndicates to to the AP Indy's, Storm Cat's, et al of the world. As much as the rumors fly, it is very, very rare. Now, I do know that people who have a share or a season might try it, and perhaps pull it off. But normally the farm has first and last right of refusal. Also close to impossible to find with non-commercial stallions, ie: Empire Maker.

Are the farms using the "pooling" method or something of the like?
