Big Red Farm approached Reddam with a $10 million offer, and Reddam said another Japanese farm came in just under that. He sold I'll Have Another to Big Red Farm because the offer was superior to American offers, and because he felt the colt would have a better chance to succeed at stud in Japan.
The American stud fee projected out to "between $17,500 and $20,000," wrote Reddam. "That means he wouldn't get the best mares or be given the best chance to succeed. He will get a much better book of mares in Japan and a higher chance to succeed."
