Except that the Unbridled tribe is notorious for this sort of thing. He has some big hits, but the many more misses are prone to get hurt early on. You can spend your money more prudently, play the odds better, by not going so high on youngsters from this sire. These are the things agents on commission won't tell their clients.

Occasionally at TP one of the Million dollar chronic losers will show up in a Claiming race too.
