Which Big Brown deal are you talking about? When he sold for like $3-4 million when he had no guaranteed value? That is hardly Street Sense money.

when big brown won the preakness, it seemed every stud farm was calling to make a deal. had they done the deal then, ieah would have made out-they tried to hold out til the tc was won. i'm sure big brown still got one heck of a deal, his stud fee bears that out. farms want out of a horse within a couple of years. there's no doubt BB was huge, maybe not as big as smarty, maybe not even as big as street sense. but i'm sure it was still a big deal.
when you look at ieahs spending habits lately, i'm figuring they threw a huge amount this guys way-that's how you get a guy to cough up half. they threw in part of stardom bound to sweeten the pot-that tells me it's worth more than 4 mill.
