Sheikh Maktoum's son buys West Virginia

West Virginia, among the 27 nominees to the Woodward, has been purchased privately by Sheikh Rajid al-Maktoum, the son of Godolphin owner Sheikh Mohammed al-Maktoum, trainer Todd Pletcher confirmed Friday. Sheik Rajid is also the owner of Henny Hughes, the odds-on favorite for Saturday's Grade 1 King's Bishop Handicap.

West Virginia, a New York-bred son of Tomorrows Cat, was previously owned by R. Mary Zuckerman. Pletcher said the 5-year-old will remain in his barn and be pointed for the Grade 2 Brooklyn Handicap on Sept. 16, then the Empire Classic for New York-breds on Oct. 21.

Pletcher said no terms of the sale were disclosed.
Just curious as to what anyone thought his current value is. I've liked this horse for some time - he's quite an honest runner - and generally is in the exacta or trifecta at a price.
