Well he was sold, not BB. Hmm must have been a problem with the vet. But sometimes the ones w/ small problems and not 100% correct make very nice runners. Its a way to get one at a decent price. I cant wait to see what Hip 821 and Hip 915 bring.

Ironically, one of the first stories in the yearling sale section was about Jambalaya and how he had a vet report one page long. He also had the look of a gawky runner who was a long way from being fully developed. The Phillipses bought him from Mark Casse for $2,500 and here he is a two-time Grade I winner and millionaire.

Exactly. Those kind of turnarounds are rare but they do happen. And if someone was willing to take the time and let a colt develop and grow out of the gawky stage, and get over small problems, that is how you can get one cheaper than normal.
