Exactly. He's also the leading 3rd crop sire of stakes winners and sire of Discreet Cat. I'm not surprised that Coolmore paid over 16 million for one of his colts. Do you know who the dam of that colt is by?

You're not surprised that someone paid $16 million for a horse at a 2 year olds in training sale? You should be shocked. Everyone there was shocked. The previous record was $5 million. If the horse would have sold for $6 million, even that would have seen surprising. To see a horse sell for $16 million was shocking.

Nothing surprises me in this day and age... $16 mil is pocket change to an organization like Coolmore.

Unbridled, what a coincidence! Here's a link to his pedigree:

I was wrong, they paid $16 million.

That colt has one hell of a pedigree. I hope to God he can run... LOL

I'm not going to go into any details about the transaction for that Forrestry colt. If someone else who is in the business wants to chime in and explain what actually happened they can. I will tell you one thing. They did not pay $16 million for that horse. There is a lot of funny business that goes on at these sales. Pretty much everyone in the business knows that they did not pay $16 million for that horse. I'll leave it at that.

Oracle, How is Wonder Lady Ann doing? I know you said she had a breathing problem last time. Did it require surgery? Were they able to fix it?

[Scurlogue Champ]

I would like to hear the story of what they really paid.

How about a PM?

Come on Richie and Oracle, I'm dying for the true story. Why does it need to stay secret?
