Rip Van Winkle has been retired.
Didn't have hype issues though! I'd say €12500-15000.
What - he was hyped like hell - so much so that they designed their Derby strategy around him even though that would be no problem for STS and and after last year's Sussex AOB was still trying to tell the world he was Pegasus.
Unexceptional pedigree and had soundness issues. I could think of many other sires I'd rather use of I were a breeder.
Goldikova has beaten PB twice by a neck and once with a significant draw bias by half a length . That does not make her much the better horse.
Now is she much the better horse?
