If that's the case you shouldn't mind paying a little for pedigree advice given that it could make or break your massive investment.

Please PM if interested (even a mere 1% of the stallion's value would be considered adequate compensation by my all too weak self-esteem!)...

Sorry for the slightly confusing analogy; good pedigree advice is worth far more than pencils, in fact it's worth more than its weight in gold! (Just look at the incredible results Winstar has gotten with Distorted Humor thanks to Les Brinsfield and John Prather, the masterminds behind Funny Cide and Commentator, etc.)

If you can afford a horse worth at least $25 Million; you can afford to pay for your advice.

Why should I undermine the capacity of pedigree analysts everywhere to support themselves by acceding to so unreasonably unreasonable a demand?

Furthermore...if each of 50 shares (a number which I believe makes sense) had a bonus season attached to it (at least for the first 4 or 5 years) above and beyond the one annual season attached to the share...a share price of approx $375k+- to $475k+- could not only be justified, but also be the kind of deal that share buyers (and breeders) might find very appealing.

Those were about the numbers I'd had in my head for a while, as well. I'm thinking he easily justifies a $50k stud fee (He's one of the few stallions where I've not had much doubt in his potential commercial appeal), though I was thinking more along the lines of 75 shares @ $350k a piece. I have absolutely no doubt that they'll get 85 mares to him in his first season and if it were Ashford, you KNOW they'd get 110.

hi AA#1fan,

Yes AA#1fan, Afleet Alex is For Sale NOW, and suitors are quietly tip-toeing around to whisper their interest to the powers-that-be.

And 'that's a fact jack.'

I am confident that the whispers will get louder in the weeks and months ahead.

Respectfully

AA#1F

Any stallions breeding rights can be sold at any time while the horse is still running. Take for instance Offlee Wild who's breeding rights were purchased by Darley. He will continue to run for his current owners until the end of the year and then Darley will take possession. Same thing with Giacomo who is also expected to race for his current owners through next year, but whose breeding rights are owned by Adena Springs. You can rest assured that Afleet Alex is being shopped around to many and various stud farms. I'm not as bullish as others on the board about his potential prowess as a sire, but his breeding rights will go for $20 - $30 million and I'm going on record with a prediction that his breeding rights will have been purchased by the end of the year. Just cross your fingers and hope he goes to Coolmore becuase then you can come up with $40,000 - $50,000 and breed your shetland pony to him. :wink:

AfleetAlex#1fan,
Some advice from the already bitten. Invest your money in mutual funds. Buy a few shares in Afleet Alex and have some fun, but don't bet the farm on one horse making it as a racehorse stallion. At best its a crap shoot at worst its a black hole that eats money. Mary Syers
