true.

wonder how long it'll be before people start trying to buy up yearling or two year old in training rights. it's getting that contentious.

Do the deal now while he is at the top of his game. No telling what will happen in the future.

Didn't the same thing occur years ago when the breeding rights to AP Valentine were sold during his two-year old campaign. If I recall correctly that deal was signed before the Champagne or between the Champagne and the BC Juvenile.

As some have eluded to above his value probably only wnet down after his two year old year.

I am sure there are a lot of contingencies written into the contract if it involves any change in ownership.

I've been thinking that maybe this means that War Pass will actually race more than most of the horses retired this year. If LaPenta has already got his pay day lined up he may not have as much of a reason to retire WP so quickly. Of course I don't know the exact details of the deal so maybe there's something in there about retiring after three or something. . .

If it is a cut and dry deal then they have nothing to lose if he happens to lose...

AP Valentine also proved to be subfertile.
