this, coupled with his really erratic stretch run, makes me wonder how sound he is.

that seems awfully cheap for such a magnificent looking son of smart strike, but who knows.
He is out of an unraced mare who hasn't produced much. Although this is on the lower end price for a Smart Strike, his auction averages and medians are not too high overall either, 100-150K range for yearling & two year old colts. Fee this year is $75K but I'm unsure of what the fee was when his '06 yearlings & two year olds were produced.
