I find him difficult to price up - without his G1 win I'd estimate him at around 2K-2.5K, but as he did win at the highest level as a juvenile, they might be able to ask 4K for him?https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/28295481/wootton-bassett-anyone?post_id=507129303#507129303Agree.
