The dam made all her money on the dirt and has produced a couple of horses that won, sprinting on the dirt. I wouldn't downgrade this horse's chances based on the fact that one of his halfs was a grass miler.

What moron would pay 2.3 million for a horse?

I agree with you. Even at a 2 year old sale where you can watch them work and get a pretty good feel for a horse, I still think it's crazy to pay much more than $250k or so. I guess if the horse has really good breeding, I could see a guy go up to $500k or so. But to pay $2.3 million is a little crazy.

The guy you're talking about can wipe his a.ss with $100s. $2.3 million is chump change.

So how is it that he is smart enough to acquire all that money but dumb enough to spend 2.3 million on a horse when the average lifetime earnings typically are what 50 K. I guess plying the customers with free drinks is a good idea.
