again, not so. premiums are based on his value-and there's not much expectation winning the tc will change that.
he isn't the type that commercial breeders are looking for. witness i'll have another, who had to go to japan because breeders simply weren't willing to shell out the money for him here.
the breeding market is down right now, with horses standing for a fraction of what many stood for just a few years ago. breeders in times like these turn to tried and true horses that have been at stud and are proven commodities.
most tc winners, most horses, fail at stud. the odds are around ten to one that a horse does well...and horses with much better pedigrees than this one fail.
it's a much better chance this guy ends up like the bid at stud, than like slew.
i doubt, tho, he ends up as a cavalry remount like sir barton.
