But did they really say that?

Hey, don't underestimate how much sons of Kipling or Lucky Lionel are in high demand...

Isn't Big Brown significantly "inbred" for a top notch stallion? I might agree that $30 Mil for BB if he wins the Derby might be realistic, but I think $100k at stud is a little much...

if he won't command six figures, he can't sell for 30 million-how would the breeder earn his money back? farms want to 'get out' after just a few years-usually before the 2 yo's start running, since they might not be that fast, and demand will drop like a stone for a sire with slow progeny.
