Damn Autoincorrect.

I tried to name the title of this thread Woah, not Noah.

I'd like to take 8/1 on under 175k.

Seriously. The sire is still young and doesn't cost remotely that much.

He will next year. Lock for Pioneer to be $125k+ next year. American Pharoah will likely start at $100ish.

Agree with Thoroughbred Fan, but not sure P of the Nile will get all that. The first 3 years for AP (2016-17-18) are mostly marketing and recruiting. For any stallion to have a chance, they have to get prod ucing mares to him and that often entails making some deals. Likely they'll see what he has as far as the book he can cover. They'll want over 100 and could consider shuttling, it's up to the libido and marketability of the horse. By year 3 he has his first test, the sales.

By the next year, you will start seeing how they run in 2018 as 2YO's. That would make him hotter or colder, but by that time. If you filled his book at $100K, then, even with discounts, you've nabbed over $20 million.

You could either end up with a Tapit or Smarty.

How is the Mystical Derby even on the list? Triple Crown winner to Canterbury Park for an ungraded 200k race on Aug 29th, the same day as the Travers seems like 999-1 rather than 20-1.
