Obviously I'm missing something - I have no clue as to what I said that would make you reply with a . If it's because I said I'm nervous, well that's because I don't want SB to end up with Sheikh Mohammed.

Oops. I'm not that familiar with Chuck/Dee Tee, so my bad! Well, maybe people will find something they don't like about SB and she'll fetch a reasonable price....lol. Is there an embarrassed smiley?

I wouldnt give a penny over three million for her...
But seriously I believe they overpaid for her considering she has never run on the dirt and has a weak pedigree.

Tapit's pedigree is very strong and he is off to a very good start. SB's damside is weak, though - I'll certainly grant you that.

Also, a lot of people are assuming SB is just a poly freak - not quite sure why as her pedigree leans towards dirt, not turf.

Tapit has a long way to go. Posse was really strong two years ago and what has he done lately? Personally I like my horses to have a little more than synthetic form before I spend close to 6 million on them but that's just me.

Yes he does have a ways to go - look at Officer as well. Of course, those were sires thought to be more precocious. However, SB is obviously a very talented filly and her sire-line is very well thought off (not just Tapit) - that's all I'm saying. I guess most people assume she's going to handle the dirt.

maybe it's because that's where she's won. as for her pedigree, you can't just ignore her bottom half--she is weak pedigree-wise.. and altho tapit is doing ok thus far, he's still too new to know much about. he could be a good sire of two year olds...but i doubt ieah bought her for what's she's done. i think they may well have overpaid for her, considering how tapit did past april of his 3 yo season--and her dam is weak in that dept as well.

The only way they didnt overpay is if she wins the KY oaks and or Alabama and is a strong 3 year old filly champion. Then she will be worth what they paid for her. If she is a bust as a three year old she will be selling next year in this sale for $2 million or being bred to Big Brown.

It's fair to say that any first crop sire is unproven as we still need to see them solidify that success for a few years. I don't think they bought her expecting her to make her purchase price back, so we'll just have to wait and see how she develops as a 3 year old. If she wins big races, then the $$$ will have been worth it. Others must have been bidding on SB for the price to be jacked up that high, so I assume again that most people think dirt won't be a problem. I'm not going to argue that her damside is weak pedigree wise - clearly it is.

I thought it was high also, but if anyone is gonna get taken by buying something to high, is it wrong of me to be glad its IEAH??? I also saw that a half sister to Curlin is selling Hip 128, in foal to Smart Strike, should be interesting to see what she brings.
