Just when I thought this guy was being smart...

I wonder what percentage of I Want Revenge translates to 25% of Stardom Bound.

Probably will never find out because it would devalue Stardom Bound from the $5.7mm they paid at auction.

I'll guess that 50% of IWR is in the $2 million range and 25% of Stardom Bound was struck at $1 million.

Believe it or not, from the original deal, which was for 49% -- this is not even close. Scary.

That is exactly how I was thinking it through... SB has obviously depreciated quite a bit since October. Iavarone was surely releived to drop a quarter of her. Makes you wonder how much IEAH really owns of here, with Pompa and some other big hitters being listed as owners. These guys are all smoke and mirrors.

Knowing nothing, I would say your estimation of I Want Revenge isn't even close.

What exactly do you think 3YOs that run huge speed figures, are 3:5 in an upcoming Grade 1 final KY Derby prep, and are currently one of the top choices for the Derby, are going for? You don't really think the selling price is $4 million.....do you?

Given the irrationality surround Derby contenders, no- but in my opinion he doesn't have the bloodlines to be a commercial hit sire which would push the number in to the 8 figure stratosphere. $8 million is the HIGHEST price I could ever see for him, so $4 million for 50%.

Then again, they did pay $5.7 million for Stardom Bound.

If someone reportedly offered $3 million for Win Willy, then IWR's price tag is considerably higher than $4 million.

with the current market, i'd still say it's double digits for total value. wasn't street senses deal rumored to be around 20 million?
as for pedigree-big brown wasn't exactly royally bred-but for the most part, a ky derby horse can make a sire fashionable. stephen got even having a top three year old will only make him more appealing. elusive quality was still a very young sire when smarty won the derby-his fee shot to 100k after that.

I don't know if Street Sense and Stardom Bound are really fair horses to compare to since both won Eclipse Awards as 2yos so have that to fallback on. In the case of a horse that's best win is the Gotham or Rebel there is a lot more downside to its value if it never wins another race.

Street Sense- Apples and oranges. A winner of the BC Juvenile, Derby, and Travers versus the GOTHAM... won by such standouts as Cowtown Cat, Like Now, Survivalist, and Alysweep over the past few years.

Big Brown- the stud deal is completely made up dollars, again AFTER the Ky Derby win.

I actually liked Steven Got Even the horse and as a stud, and he's had some nice ones in the past, but his progeny don't really go for big money.

lose, they're out a couple million. win, they just hit the motherlode. and they can afford to lose that couple of million. it's like these horse are high priced lottery tickets.
also, keep in mind that hard spun was not a top 2 yo, and his deal was rumored to be just about as high as street senses. big brown wasn't a 2yo champ either, look at how his deal went. majestic warrior off one win-his stud fee was a done deal before the bcj.

$2.6MM.

With or without her season to Big Brown?
