nice card

The Dude abides..........

I don't think there's enough speed in this one to soften up Game on Dude, and I've never been a fan. But, it looks like he has this race.

Bugger, Believe You Can was retired. Sounds like she's maybe coming down with something so no farewell race. Hope she's alright.

No rest for will take charge was hoping he would be groomed for HOY and start with the Donn

I'm confused. Fiftyshadesofhay is likely for the Comely or the Falls City?

skipping the Comely

Wine Princess retired after her Falls City win. With Take Control gone, that's it for the Azeri progeny in the US. The only ones racing are all in Japan. I know saying "end of an era" is probably overdramatic, but the last offspring of certain mares or stallions (or the last we're likely to see in our country) is something to note.
