Having a foal finish third in a Grade 1 is not going to add three million dollars of value to a dam's worth.

That particular dam's value was established by two other foals of her's. If Capote's Crown had wings, and won a Grade 1 ( she was a very mediocre horse ), that would have added to the mare's value. However, considering her progeny, Capote's Crown ( even with a third in a Grade 1 ) was hardly going to increase her value substantially....and nowhere close to three million dollars.

You do realize we're talking about the dam of Smoke Glacken.....don't you?

By the way, the most important reason Desormeaux did not affect the dam's value if he cost Capote's Crown a Grade 1 placing is probably that she was 21 years old at the time.

Lost in all this is that Johnny V's ride, in the same race, was about as bad as it gets: not only did he blow the chances for his horse but he screwed up the race dynamics and handed the race to HF.
