It is worth noting that, compared to some other first-crop sires like Colonel John, the Dunkirks last year sold modestly (average of $30,000 and median of $22,000 for 71 yearlings sold).

They bought the horse who got the bullet quarter as well.
This one was a 185k yearling turned 675K 2yo by Malibu Moon:

In that case, they didn't have a connection to the sire. Looks like Baffert won't be getting the nuts this time like he often does from the sales out there.
