We were not involved in the purchase, from what Friedman says on their site O\'Neill uses Ragozin, although exactly what that means and what they charge is a very open question. It would have been an interesting question as to what I would have advised a client to pay for that horse, since the market for 3yos is even more nuts than the overall horse market-- big number around 2 turns, but it was in the mud, he\'s developed an awful lot, no telling whether he\'ll ever see it again. Probably a buy at 500k given the upside, tough call beyond that.
I\'ve posted several examples of inflated California numbers, last couple of years Ragozin, more recently Andy\'s. I don\'t remember the posts and don\'t want to do the work, someone else (CH?) might remember where they are. Try searching \"California figures\" or \"Beyer\".
