I am well aware of Tabor being a big fan of poly. I think you need to read my post before you go telling me I am wrong. Read the last sentence of the post.

I probably know a little bit more than you about pricing horses, but even a fool knows a horses value goes up significantly with a grade 1 win. You don't sell the week before a grade 1 win. You might say Pletcher knows something and that is why he is selling him, but I can assure you the one person Pletcher would not rip off is Tabor. Scat Daddy will win tomorrow. Probably pretty easily unless the horse from over the pond lives up to his name.

And if he doesn't win, it goes down.
Stallion prospects are at a premium before being favored for a grade one win. Of course if they win it goes up, but if they don't it goes way down.
The parties most often meet in the middle, and since Tabor is a client and quite a good one, I'm sure Todd and his Dad "weren't stupid" in negotiating their deal.

Quite frankly you just had to suspect that this would happen. Tabor owns the sire, and he has many horses with Todd. I don't see this as a big story.

Actually it would only go down if he ran poorly. He already has a second in a grade 1. This horses value could only go up after tomorrow. He is too well bred. He is a Johannesburg out of a Mabee Mr. Prospector mare.
