No such thing as a 6 or 7 year old that goes to stud at anything above 10k...Why? because nobody could risk a DIRT horse devaluing himself by continuing to race as a 6/7 years old. Point of Entry only ran this year because he was grass meant, in very sporting wealthy hands, and while he and Gio Pionti might become ok dirt producers its unlikely either would have been campaigned at 5 if they were dirt types. For all I know they can because Tapit and War Front(who thought those two would be special)
Who the heck is paying 50k for a unproven out of the box Wiseman's Ferry that was a 8f grass horse? You think Wise Dan would be better received then a Tiznow? That is the only sort of comparable stud I could relate a whole Wise Dan too and that comparison is a huge theoretical stretch.
