I'm surprised that Albert the Great stayed at $7500. Aside from Nobiz, most of his runners are of the honest allowance/hard-knocker category...better fit in the $5k range.

Point Given at $15,000 is worth a second look. That said, massive fall from grace and I think he fee has been lowered every single year he has been at stud.

I also think Point Given is reasonable at $15,000. It's a long way down from $150,000, but he's had some good runners. I wonder how the CI of his mares has declined?

In case anyone is interested, I got a call today from Three Chimney's offering me a gentleman's lifetime breeding right in Yes It's True for 175k. If anyone is looking for something like I would call them quickly.

Maven - on what basis would you like Yes It's True at $35,000 better than Exchange Rate at $25,000? Exchange Rate, to me, has done a heck of a lot more with less.

And when and where did I say I even liked Yes Its True? I was just sharing info I received today. I obviously had no interest in it so I was passing it along to those who may be interested.

Why were you offered a "gentleman's" lifetime right, anyway, Marvin?

I'm sure it was extended to anyone who bred to a Three Chimney stallion last year. And I was just told the breeding right has been on the market for a few months now.

How do they keep Sky Mesa at 30k? About 30 starters and 4 winners? Not to write him off, but you would like to see signs of them coming around, especially around this time of year. It reminds me of (gulp) Buddha last year.

I couldn't access the list. Was Dynaformer's fee changed?
