My reaction was the same thing. I thought they meant pesos when I saw 12,500.

Why breed to him for $12500 when you'll be able to buy his baies for $2000 in a few years.

I just don't understand why people don't stand horses like this one and Sharp Humor in a place like NY where Distorted Humor blood and Fu Peg blood would be a fresh thing, and where people might actually support these stallions.
It simply makes no sense to me to stand a horse in Ky at 12,500 when you know they will be up against it commercially and be competing against the best.
But what folks do is stand em and figure that out THEN send em to a place like NY when they are already perceived as cold commercially.
You'd think a state with a breeding program like Ny's would be able to attract some decent stallions right off the track instead of having to wait for perceived failures. I wish someone could explain this to me.

You have to admit though, as outrageous as that sounds at first glance, when you consider how many other incredibly average horses are/have recently gone to stud with higher outrageous fees, this one isn't so bad. I know that sounds crazy, but take a look at the stallion register if you want to read some comedy.
