Yeah, it probably is a little high for a horse that only ever won one G1 race.

But he could POTENTIALLY be a great stallion. Yes he's a Storm Cat, but examine the bottom half of his pedigree too. Look at his dam....She's A Winner.
She is by AP Indy and out of a graded stakes winning daughter of Mr. P. In addition to Bluegrass Cat she has already produced another multiple Graded stakes winner out of only 3 offspring to hit the track. That is a pretty nice pedigree.
I guess in today's breeding industry the big question is.....if you have a stallion like BC that is by Storm Cat and out of an AP Indy mare.....who are you going to breed the horse too? Are there any mares out there anymore that aren't closely related to one or both of these two horses?

You know stud fees are a little out of control when this horse starts at $50k

i think 50k is steep. a lot of well bred horses out there. but i guess they have a lot of interest so they feel they can charge that fee.
storm cat is so popular because he backs up the hype, a lot of success over the years from him. he's not standing for 500k for nothing!

but....there are a lot of good horses out there for that price. do you go for proven, or for some storm cat magic??
as for mares to breed to--they're out there.
