And what happens if he turns into a 250k stallion, thus numbers increase by 2.5.....

20% of 200 million is 40 million, 20% of 10 million is 2 million for these plantiffs,
i'd imagine jess jackson bought them out for what a stud farm would have bought them out for. obviously not the type of numbers you're putting up there-and you also need to recall when the buyout was done-all the risk at that point was on jackson, none on bolton and sanan.
also, stud fees are based on the first few years, when you 'get out' on a horse. you're seriously telling me that a stud horse makes 200 million in ten years?

also, could you name one proven sire by smart strike?
