Despite her exceptional career, right now Azeri is an 11yo mare with no production record and average breeding. Yes, she's a legend (I was a huge fan) but when it comes to dollars and cents, you have to be analytical.

I think the age thing has pretty much been dismissed . It's only an issue for the buyer for driving down the price . Age makes no difference in the quality of the foals .
