“My passion is breeding and to breed you need excellent broodmares,” Leon said. “You can buy stud fees to stallions, but you cannot buy a uterus from a mare, so you have to buy the mare."

I think this guy scares me.

That was a rather tortured way of saying "If you want to breed horses, you need to buy fillies."

Well, he's not wrong. Mares have always shown a profound inability to make sound financial decisions regarding the sale of their uteruses (uterei?). Just easier to buy the mare. This guy's really not that scary. He obviously doesn't participate in the exchange of money for body parts. You won't wake up in a tub of ice missing a kidney because this guy black market bought it. That's good right? See? Not scary.

Anybody catch the Tapit-Baroness Thatcher colt? $50,000? Did anybody see what might be wrong with that one? I was just scrolling through the hips I missed and did a double take.
