At the very least seeing horses like Rachel and Zenyatta and Goldikova gives me hope that the colts aren't far behind.

You need another 30 to 40% correction to approach your dream... You can still syndicate a well bred mutliple G1 (including KD or Travers) for 10's of millions..

Sea the Stars is owned by an extremely wealthy family and they still couldnt resist retiring the colt? A Big Brown type MIGHT have a tougher time being retired but in all candor the shed is the SHIIIIT
