Horse isn't especially fast either ... but he does have a nice long stride. Padua Stables is the buyer for $275,000

Not to mention War Front is a first crop sire. He had a high priced colt in the Calder sale as well.
I know it remains to be seen how the horse turns out, but I wonder if Padua was armed with the info you just posted. For an owner that was fleeced at the sales his first few years, then had the guts to step up and do something about it, buying a seemingly overpriced horse like this appears very "back to their old tricks".
