What he said was absolutely logical. "Freaks" very rarely reproduce themselves and I'd be doubting that any little Ghostzappers will run with the brilliance of their old man.
I think his point may have been what many people are wondering. WHy do you spend billions of dollars looking for a horse thats so good only to retire him at the end of his three year old year when hes been lightly raced and is sound? Its not like they need the money, and its indeed puzzling.
Do you actually disagree with these sentiments?

The horse isn't even as good as 2 of his other horses. When did Bernardini become this great horse. He is a $100,000 stallion and they think he gives them the best shot of breeding a KY Derby winner. Out of all their horses racing that is probably correct. It still doesn't give Haskin the right to make such a bold statement. It could hurt the marketing off the horse.

I guess the bloodhorse or the writer agrees with me, considering the article is gone.
