Good. I would love to see him never break his maiden, but I doubt that is going to happen. $16M for an unproven horse is insanity.

That's harsh. Its not the horse's fault he went for 16 million. I feel bad for the horse. He's going to be like the Arod of horse racing. All that money and it won't amount to much in the clutch. The Yankees will never ever win a championship with Arod on the team. Never.

No but the two groups of owners bidding on him were annoying. Almost as annoying as Steinbrenner.

Yep, he has to win the BJ Juvenile/Florida Derby/KY Derby/Travers/BC Classic to be a success, sad.
