I don't really have an opinion one way or the other on TGM, but I understand people like boldruler saying "I would love to see him never break his maiden." I mean $16 million is stupid.
If this horse goes on to earn $4 million on the track the investment will have been worth it, and the trend will coninue. But if he earns $45,000 in his career....we can all have a good laugh at the fools who paid that much $$ for an unproven horse, and maybe people will think twice in the future about that kind of investment.

At first it was funny, but I think everyone has caught on.

Poor horse...terrible name, controversial buy...good thing he doesn't have a clue, apart from the stablemates snickering at his moniker.

That isnt too bad if they were just going out there to stretch his legs. But if they were wanting to blow him out then it doesnt look good.
