I am not saying I would have paid $75k but PP is being very unfair saying that the buyer of Lot 36 - Downbytheseaside x Lislady is a sucker on the basis that the mare was previously purchased with this foal in its womb for $5,500
Back at that time Downbytheseaside was totally unproven/had had no progeny race. There was no guarantee the foal would even be born, what sex it would be, or how athletic in stature it would be. In future he will have to call out all pinhooking as this was an even bigger gamble by the purchaser of the mare (albeit at a bargain basement price) which was very successful even after expenses
