Hasn't really got anything of note, after spending plenty.

He does have a decent Grand Slam 2yo filly that is an Ontario bred.

He's a colt - and he's a complete mediocrity. It's amazing to look at the two fields he faced for $150K a pop.

I was a little disappointed by the way the euro bred horses they recruited sold. There was a lot of buzz around them.

What did the full brother to Ghostzapper look like? I realize the 2 colts that came after GZ didn't exactly match their brother's accomplishments, but is that what made this one go unsold or was it something about him physically? City Zip didn't go for much back in the day.

That's him below. Doesn't answer your question, but an interesting pic.

Did his, uh, energetic display maybe influence the non-buying? I like an effort to reproduce a Breyer figurine as much as the next person, but how does the behavior of a horse in the ring impact interest, if at all?

Yes, I know. It was the concept of him being listed as the agent, taking the agents commission on the sale.
