In today's marketplace, the #'s are certainly not what they once were as far as market value. But like I said, the so called special ones will still go off the charts.

No Eric it is too high for any realistic expectation of monetary success. Who would buy her over this level? There is no market over that price. Maybe they are marking her up and making a profit on that end but there is virtually no chance that she can be worth more than this unless she does something unbelievable like wiining the Triple Crown or going 7 for 7 winning the oaks Alabama and Breeders Cup. Do you know how many multimillion dollar yearlings they will have to sell to just cover expenses, stud fees, etc? That's not even considering her purchase price. There are no players at 6 million or above except two who chose not to play now and surely arent that interested to play later at a higher price.
