Isn't that the truth! :)

I guess you're right. All he had was good looks. He only won 5 graded stakes races in a row at distances ranging anwhere from 7 furlongs to 1 1/4 miles. I can't figure out why people thought he was a good horse.
Lol. Yes, It's baffling isn't it.

If this is the Orientate 1/2 bro he was one of the worst looking weanlings at Fasig-Tipton. Very small and incorrect. I believe he only went for 40k if I'm not mistaken.

Just watched Speedy Jones run last of 10 in his first start. Perhaps a name change is in order.
