Aside from shying him into Afleet Alex it effectively knocked 'the game' out of Scrappy. It was unnecessary. <BR/><BR/>While IEAH was slow to execute - or more likely people paused after the press of slick Michael Iavarone - the other mega syndicate fund (Legends Fund) with Lukas, Baffert, Zito raised the $70M+ in funds without much fuss this summer. They've got the ammo in reserve and have fired a few round with buying power.<BR/><BR/>Why pay more for Smarty Jones over a breeding session with Birdstone at $10k? He's delivered solid results at Wal-Mart prices.
