I'll Have Another's value as a stallion if he sweeps the Triple Crown

[Calzone Lord]

I've heard people saying I'll Have Another would be worth more as a stallion prospect than Bodemeister or Creative Cause if he won the Triple Crown.

I giggled at this ... but it seems like a lot of people believe this and maybe I'm wildly underestimating what a Belmont win would do for his stud value?

Would a Belmont win really drive his stud value higher than that of Bode and CC?

Keep in mind -- Creative Cause is by Giant's Causeway out of a Grade 1 winning millionaire race mare (Dam took the Apple Blossom when Ashado bombed) Creative Cause was a precocious 2yo who won his debut going 5fs with a huge figure. He was BC Juvie placed. And he's trained by Mike Harrington ... who looks like Arthur Wendell or Janet Del Castillo compared to guys like Baffert and O'Neill.

Bodemeister is by Empire Maker out of a super talented Storm Cat mare who won her debut in a stakes races and took a Grade 3 second-time out. Bodemeister's 2nd dam is a multiple Graded Stakes winner by A. P, Indy out of a Roberto mare.

With I'll Have Another -- you've got a son of Flower Alley who was an $11,000 yearling ... and even though he worked fairly fast at an OBS 2yo sale -- he sold for peanuts again. Silver Charm and Skip Away were both OBS cheapies...great horses, but terrible sires.

Someone on Pace Advantage said I'll Have Another will be worth $80 million if he wins the Belmont. If that's even 1/4th true -- we live in a world gone mad.
