What kind of stud deal could Animal Kingdom fetch?

If he were retired today? On another note, what happens now to leroidsdeanimaux's value?

Minimal and almost nothing?

I know they say Leroy is really ugly and I don't think he's been managed well. . . In the current state of the bloodstock industry/economy, can any horse really be worth that much?

Let's see what he does in the Preakness.

I've been looking at Animal Kingdom's pedigree....European, South American with a splattering of American influences....obviously loaded with stamina on top and bottom. On top Candy Stripes and his daddy, B/C CDR Blushing Groom, Dancing Brave back a bit on dam's side and his daddy, C CDR Lyphard. Probably not that desirable to American breeders but a win in the Preakness could change all that. Anytime a horse with obvious turf breeding steps up and wins a grade one on dirt folks take notice but he needs to show it wasn't a one time deal. A win in the Preakness and his stud fee will soar.

Soar to what?

15k maybe?

Beyond doubtful.
