Everybody forgets that when the TB business "exploded", so did Arabians, so did sport horses, etc. Geesh, even alpacas and ostriches went for $20K a breeding pair. When there are lines of people who don't know a horse from a cow standing there saying "take my money, I want in and I want to win", the pyramid schemes go crazy. And they did through the 1980's.
