This is the value thread?

I don't know, seems much ado about something upon which nothing can be done.

Yes, top stud fees and unproven horse prices are overinflated.

Yes, there are collectors in this game that don't care about price and many will pay more than they reasonably should.

Yes, horses will continue to retire when their breeding value significantly exceeds their racing value or the anticipated value continued racing can add.

Most retirements come because the horse is off, but sure, Smarty Jones and Ghostsprint went out on residual value issues. If a truly great horse comes along, its gonna take a sportsman to bear the risk of losing the residual breeding value. Paulson or Phipps or someone of that nature is necessary to make a horse great, provided he's not a gelding.
