So between their share of the small percentage of him sold they maybe made a million over Court Vision's cost. Pure Clan may have made enough on the track to cover what they paid for their share of her. Benny the Bull and Kip Deville made over two million between them. There were some expensive horses mixed in that did nothing that I can think of.

Tough game!

On the other hand, they have some valuable assets......Benny not included. Somehow I don't think he's worth the $10 million they claimed in the NY Times interview.
Court Vision was last year wasnt it? I would put Bennys worth at around $3 million and that is pretty generous. Have they announced where he is going to stand?

I could be wrong, but I think they bought half of him early this year.

You know better than me.....but SOLD on $3 million. What can he possibly stand for?

Really? Wow. I would have guessed MUCH less. He has no pedigree.
