I want to meet the person that would pay this

Wasn't ever the best dancer, but he was consistent. (sure, mostly consistently, uh.....slow, but he did grab some paychecks here and there)

Give him a break, you guys!

Suzanne give him a break about what?
He had no speed, and 12,500 is still one hell of a lot of money.
He's the kinda horse who may have done well in a niche market, not in Ky at 12,500.
He'll end up in a niche market at 3500 or 5000 in a few years, but only after hes wasted 2-3 years languishing at a ridiculous price in KY.
