Alysheba is Coming Home
 

http://news.bloodhorse.com/article/47699.htm

I'm very excited. I've been plotting and planning a new visit to the Kentucky Horse Park for awhile now and maybe this was some sort of sign. I wasn't meant to go back til now. I haven't been able to since Bold Forbes, Forego, and John Henry graced us with their presence (seriously BF was a total ham, had people cracking up as I tried to get a good shot of him). I hope Alysheba is as comfortable as he can be. It's an interesting time of year to bring him over. I assume he was ready to be pensioned. I never got to see him run (not that I wasn't around, I just wasn't following racing on tv) so this is a great opportunity.

very good news. looking forward to our next trip to KHP.

I was there, and even after watching it umpteen times in replay, it still gives me a charge to watch Alysheba win the Classic.

Cool that he'll be in a stall right across from another personal favorite, Cigar.

One of the coolest horses ever.

Does anyone know how he did at stud in Saudi Arabia?

glad to hear he's coming back. i believe he's not the oldest living derby winner with genuine risks passing. i named a dog after this horse. loved his derby win, and enjoyed him throughout his career. hope he likes his new home.
