Technically speaking, maybe.

If you count Europe, probably not.

If you don't count horses like Ghostzapper (200k first year fee but not syndicated), Curlin (big money as a 3yo), Any Given Saturday (40 mil breeding rights) and Hard Spun (another 3yo purchase), than yeah, probably.

Oops. Forgot Big Brown.

So, no.

Id say so...but hes a horse owned by small timers...a lot of the big horses lately have been owned by folks who stand their own after retirement. No deals to be made with the bernardinis of this world.
