good points EJ. I also heard the stud fee is higher than $300,000 now (true?). not sure of the exact numbers. just putting the $16 mio price tag in proper perspective. revenue potential with some of these yearlings is tremendous. Tabor can miss with some of them if he continues to spot a SW, a Danehill, or a GC for the breeding shed.
