I am not attacking anyone just trying to help both of you see the forest from the trees.
>Total Value of Offspring - Stud Fee?
You are confused. You were assuming I was talking about the offspring of the Stallion. I am not. If the owner keeps the mare that he bought and raced and begins breeding to Storm Cat, AP Indy etc, this animal has tremendous value particularly if this offspring turns out to be another Filly. It needs to be added into the equation.
Baffert recently has had:
Forestry
War Emblem
Real Quiet
Point Given
Silver Charm
Captain Steve
Tell me the combined syndication value of the above and the prices they were sold to the Japanese and we have reference point to continue this debate.
Lukas has probably won over $200M in purses, and produced 100s of millions in stallion fees. Giving him a Top Line Career Base of close to a Billion $$.
Take all of the money invested by Klein, Sanan, Lewis, Young and others and he is still in the black.
