i don't even know how much they can make off stud with him-it's been quite a speculative subject lately.
the sport has become a breeding game instead of a racing one, with 'wins' earned in the sales ring. it's funny that square eddie was mentioned, he crossed my mind earlier..
also, when people talk about breeding woes, soundness comes up. this horse has had issues since taking to the track, and made a seven run career-is breeding him in the best interests of racings future?? what happened with breeders improving the breed? now it's all about improving the bottom line.
