Didn't he pay $8.5 million for her?

I don't really understand paying so much for a mare.

The only reasons I can think of that make any sense at all are that either he hopes he can sell her offspring for big $$$, or he's trying to build a broodmare band with the intent of being in the breeding business for a long, long time.

In the latter situation, I guess he'd try to breed to race with the hope of hitting the jackpot with a homebred star stallion.
