While we're on the breeding topic, could someone with some knowledge/experience in the field answer something for me?
On the ride home from Belmont I talked with a handicapper who speculated that Rags' connections will never pay a stud fee for her- stallions' connections will be lining up to offer free seasons. Does this happen (I assume as a potential way to increase the stallion's value)? And would it happen with top stallions, too, or only ones that stand to get an increase in value?
