Stupidly high when you compare his sire's fee, he is a $5,000 stallion.

Ahhh... got what you meant.... don't think he should be as low as $5000, but I definitely wouldn't breed to him at $35K (heck, I'd much rather breed to Arch for $5K less!)

Why not $5,000?
What is the first thing buyers look for in a prospective stallion?
Speed and precosity, right?

He hasn't got speed, he was beaten by Haynesfield by 4L on a fast dirt surface. He beat Quality Road and Zenyatta on what were heavy/deep non-speed tracks.

When did he start racing at 2 winning G1's?

He is unproven, slow and late maturing $5,000 stallion.

5-7 years from now he will not be in America, Turkey or Korea maybe South America.

Quality Road and Looking at Lucky are the two best potential stallions to retire since Bernadini.

The owners are making a mistake. Just because he beat Zenyatta is not making him a wonder horse. But it is the choice of the breeders. Just let the stallion firstly prove he is worth his stud fee!!

I agree with that, but the excitement of breeding to last year's Eclipse HOY will get him plenty of business at that fee level.
