I heard Pompa suggest Big Brown was worth 80 mil as a stallion...HUH

That's a lot of mares at 100k a pop to recoup such an investment. It's become a business not a hobby for wealthy folks.

I think the med's and medical technology are great things when used responsibly be folks.

Simply put we all would rather breed a horse to a sound fast SOB then a science experiment that without science would be a frog.. I don't think you can look past that there are to many stallions that needed too much science to make them semi successful and that i think that is the nuts of the Beyer comments.

The problem is that sound and fast dont mesh well. You have Danzig as a prime example. If he had raced on Lasix he would have been vilified as a breed killer.
