no, at this point, you can't really say i want revenge is = to street sense. what i'm saying is they are paying this kind of money because they are hoping IWR will turn out close to or equal to street sense regarding a future stud fee.

I don't think the $3 mill number for Win Willy is inconceivable (even though I don't think it was real), however basing it on Curlin is difficult because (a) that was a much different economy and (b) despite only being a maiden win, everything about him screamed "superstar" and like him or not (I didn't for quite a long time) everybody thought the same. Win Willy may or may not be the real deal, the jury is still out.
Again, Street Sense is not a good baseline for I Want Revenge.
