Default Would this be a good example of hyperbole?

If he's as good-looking as they say he is, how did he ever sell for $20,000 as as yearling at the Keeneland September sale?

Yeah, 20k to 700k in a few short months.

My guess is that this announcement is a mere prelude to his impending retirement due to some injury or another. He's gotta have some serious issue.

Probably only has two more starts in him.

"He has accomplished as a 3-year-old what no horse ever has. He is a rare and special racehorse with the kind of brilliance that defines great sires."

Wow, he must be some kind of horse.
