I would think it's a circular discussion to some extent. If he earned more as a 3yo, by better performances where it counts, that too would have enhanced his stud value -- so I don't know if there is a real answer.

The farm wants him. I think that's clear and without question after this year, they want him more. The attorney -- well, it sounds like he wants to race him. I guess we'll soon see.

Crushing a Saratoga track record obviously enhances his stud value.

between his four year old season and langfuhr having an outstanding year, i'd say his fee was helped enormously. instead of a lower fee, and possibly not a full book, he'll get a higher fee, and shouldn't have as much of a problem getting his 100-odd mares.
BUT, he is going to stonewall, so that will hurt him imo. that place doesn't strike me as the best to make a stallion. then there's the stallion manager leaving--and he was definitely not happy with the program. and the lawyer ron suit wasn't the only court case they had going either.
