Frost for $1,500

Holy **** 75K! Wow!
If that horse had only 3 legs and pegleg for a 4th, at only $1,500 I'd buy it too. The risk/reward is so low there. I'm actually cheering for this horse to be a monster, just to hear how it'll be rouncing the sheik's and the Coolmore's million dollar babies.

Coolmore and Godolphin will have to start shipping to the lakes for that to happen, but I agree, he might be the kind of horse to pull for.

Mr. G's fee was $35K at the time of cover.

yeah, that's right, 3k it was!
who was the sucker that paid 200k?

how about r. j.'s indy? you could have claimed him for around 5k at some point, and i think he was a complete horse!

he was in ap indy's first crop and i believe that he was the last foal of the great ballade.

The risk is in paying training bills for a horse that noone was willing to bid on (with one exception)

I friend of mine used to work for a trainer who would try to find "fancy pedigree, cheap" and he never had much luck with it. It seems than horses priced to their breeding do better. Finding a $1500 horse by a $75k stallion may seem like a steal but it probably isn't. At least if it's a filly, her breeding may earn her some residual value. A colt will have to prove himself. As Cannon says, you still have to pay the epenses on the horse while you give it a go. As a yearling, they are looking at breaking/training/shipping etc for a bare minimum of 6 mos. THAT assumes that all goes beautifully and baby is ready for a 2f dash at Calder in March! More likely, if he races at all then it won't likely be for a year.

How freaking great would that be??? Kinda like Jambalaya winning the Million, after being bought for $1,500. Thats a nice little tidy profit for ya.
