A 2 year old out of Forestry sold for 16 million dollars at Calder just a week ago..Most people don't understand the business side of this.. Obviously this horse must be something special which has yet to be seen...The horse was bred by Satish Sanan, a man who is determined to get what he wants.His belief is to breed the best with the best...This horse was sold at auction for close to 1/2 million...did Satish make a mistake...in the long run probably not
he's in for the long haul...Did the buyers who paid 16 mill..maybe not. If this horse stays injury free to win its maiden and go on to say the Derby or further the present stud fee for Giants Causeway sits at $300,000 which is not the highest stud fee...so theoretically this horse could bring at least that or more so really the money to be made is not in racing but the breeding side...Also what many of us fail to realize is that Americans are not the only ones who spend alot...just take a look at purses in Saudi Arabia and Japan...so although this looks like too much spent I beleive a profit will be made if the horse stays sound and produces as expected....feel free to share your thoughts breeders and trainers..............
