Yeah, I basically just made those figures up. As you said, "the post was made in tongue and cheek." I'd be interested to see some stats on the prices of TC winners. I did a bit of research though and Funny Cide sold for 22k as a yearling and War Emblem sold for 20k as a yearling. I know they sold for more later but one could've had a Classic winner for pretty cheap. I'll try and find some info on others because I'm kind of curious now.
