It's fair to say that any first crop sire is unproven as we still need to see them solidify that success for a few years. I don't think they bought her expecting her to make her purchase price back, so we'll just have to wait and see how she develops as a 3 year old. If she wins big races, then the $$$ will have been worth it. Others must have been bidding on SB for the price to be jacked up that high, so I assume again that most people think dirt won't be a problem. I'm not going to argue that her damside is weak pedigree wise - clearly it is.
