How does 3.2 million sound to you? I'm sure you can afford the loss and it's a fair price...
I'll run it in a few American Turf races next year and get half my money back and make the rest back from NATIONAL HUNT stud fees as no-one up here wants a "Gross, lazy horse" as sire to their flat mares...
Don't imagine I'll ever make a profit, but it will be worth it to stop the weekly hype from your marketing team...
You won't mind if I change the name to "As we guessed", though, will you, old bean???!!!
