His stud value has to be added to the fact he is an overwhelming fav for the KY Derby. He turned down a legit offer in the neighborhood of 8m prior to the Wood. Since then everything that has happened has made him an even stronger fav for the Derby. The only thing that keeps him from being a $20 million dollar horse is being by Giants Causeway. Remember that RA was sold in the 8-10 million dollar range last year. Prior to her becoming all legendary and stuff...

I thought that being the only fast dirt GCauseway was a plus not a negative. While I get the majority if not all of the GC's have been turfers. I figured that he was "good" on dirt made he an overchiever and different and Hence, more commercial?

Wouldn't being the only (so far) GCauseway dirt "champion" be a draw?

Being by Giants Causeway means the biggest fish (Sheikh Mo) isnt a player for him. I dont think it is a negative as a stallion at all. But like the Yankees driving the market in baseball free agency, if SM isnt bidding, the price will be a whole lot less.
