if I could only be as gullible as the guy who bought The Monkey. he stands Giants Causeway at +300k a pop. GC covered 168 mares this year, 178 last year (live foals). not bad, $300,000 x 178, IN JUST ONE YEAR!
Tabor also stood Saddler's Wells and Danehill. you know how much he made with those guys?
we are talking hundreds of millions of dollars here in revenues.
