Well, this whole year was a waste of time for him, wasn't it? 
If he'd retired after getting that Sprinter Eclipse, I suspect he would be looking a bit better to breeders than he does now....unless they're very forgiving because of the way he was handled/'trained' this year?
And gets to bed down in Secretariat's stall? Yeah, that's a bit insulting to Big Red.

Run Happy has been retired to Claiborne Farm, and is now resides in Secretariat's stall. No, this is not a joke. Found the video on Twitter.
EDIT: Just saw it was posted above. Sorry!

Solid returns for Cairo Prince
http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/ ... iro-prince
Among the first-crop weanling sires with three or more sold, Airdrie Stud's Cairo Prince produced the highest overall return to breeders with a 9.20 weanling price to 2015 stud fee ratio through Nov. 12.
The multiple grade II-winning son of Pioneerof the Nile had 10 weanlings sell out of 12 offered for a $92,000 average and a $70,000 median. His top seller was a $200,000 colt out of Visavis (Indian Charlie) that Blue Sky Stable bought during the Keeneland November breeding stock sale. The colt was sold by Airdrie Stud as agent.
Cairo Prince had three weanlings sell for $100,000 or more. They were all bred on an entering-year stud fee of $10,000.

Tourist has joined the retired dudes.
Multiple Grade 1-winning miler Tourist, recent winner of the fastest Breeders' Cup Mile (G1) in history, has been retired from racing and will stand stud at his birthplace of WinStar Farm in Versailles, KY. Owners WinStar, Gary Barber, and Adam Wacthel have partnered with Don Alberto Corporation on the stallion career of the grand-looking son of Tiznow, who will stand for a fee of $12,500 S&N in 2017.

$12,500 seems very reasonable..almost too much so...for his stud fee. A gorgeous, BC Mile-winning son of Tiznow who has six G1 wins on his resume? A five-year-old who retires sound after such a nice career, and his dam has produced FOUR stakes winners from five starters, IMHO he deserves a higher stud fee than many recent retirees (I'm looking at you, Runhappy
)

Reassessing Tourist with the correct G1 wins, I still think $12,500 is modest. Do I think his fee should be higher than Runhappy? No...but then I still think $50,000 is a big ask for a colt who had only one good year.
Yep, it was good enough to earn a sprinter Eclipse, and there is no doubt the colt was brilliant when he was right. That speed will no doubt draw breeders looking for that brilliance, but....
Weighing the differences between Tourist and Runhappy, IMHO the Tiznow horse has some things going for him that 'Happy doesn't.
*Tourist (to the best of my knowledge) is a sound horse. Runhappy isn't.
*T raced through his 5th year. RH couldn't even win a race this year.
*Tiznow has sired horses who have been good runners and decent sires, while I don't believe Super Saver has shown the ability to do so. Has he sired ANY horse remotely as good as Runhappy? Tourist may have a more reliable pedigree.
*And, as has been pointed out, the Tiznow line leans toward dirt, although Tourist has shown they can run on grass, as well. I don't know that you should look at Tourist as only a turf sire.
