What a shame, easy horse to be a fan of, I remember those races. RIP, Squall.

Geez, they're dropping like flies. Making me nervous about my 26 year old mare. I guess I'll just enjoy her while I have her. Just watched Summer Squall's Preakness and have a question. Whatever happened to Mr. Frisky? I'd forgotten all about him until now. Also, is Unbridled still alive? I can't remember. I know he went on to sire a whole bunch of horribly unsound future racehorses.

Sad. :( I rooted for Charismatic originally because I was a fan of Summer Squall. What a shame.

The only Derby I have been to was 1990.............SS was my choice and I was glad to see him get the Preakness after the very popular Nafzger-Genter run by Unbridled. Sad to see him pass.............

RIP.
I believe that he was one of only two sires to a Kentucky Derby and Oaks winner. The other being Halo in the "modern" era. |
