Nothing tops the 5 mil they spent on Worldly Manner.

Then again, maybe 10 mil for VH does beat that.

At least they got some wins out of the horse though.

Any word if Midshipman has been retired yet?

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to set up a stallion deal for Tahitian Warrior.

Not many people remember another one they ruined named Adair.. they were able to get Allen Paulson to sell him (for 5 million) after a pretty big debut.. he never won again.

Yeah, I remember that horse. Worldly Manner was a much dumber buy in my eyes.

Did you know Adair had a full brother foaled in 2008? Went for like 3k. What an awful name for that full brother. If I didn't know any better, I'd think they named it after DrugS.
