Obviously the ones who are truly fast and well bred bring more cash, but any grade one winning mare is a lottery ticket these days.

It's not easy because there aren't too many....especially restricted ones. That being said, they can call the Kentucky Oaks whatever they want, but she stole that one against a pretty suspect bunch, especially going long and two turns.

But, hey, they way money gets thrown around these days its hard to fathom what is reasonable anymore.
