I bet he wasn't planning on breeding him either. Gelding would've likely been in Ibboyee's future. I'm guessing Todd did that to make sure he wasn't completely bottom of the barrel as a sort of reserve where he'd end up with the horse if nobody else stepped up. Once he saw someone else was bidding and wanted Ibboyee, he let them have him.

The chance of Todd Pletcher actually being there at the end of the 10th session of Keeneland November is roughly the same as Elvis being there. Perhaps he had someone make 1 bid to ensure he was well above killer prices. Regardless while it is nice that this particular horse wound up in a good place far more needs to be done and calling people out is unfortunately about the best way to spur action.
