You think Giacomo will be that horrendously bad of a stallion?
His dam was the brilliant four time stakes winning sprinter Set Them Free - who hooked 2yo filly champ Eliza in their career debuts at Del Mar...and ran off together.
Besides Giacomo - she dropped another Santa Anita Derby winner - a nice turf horse - and a Sea Hero sired filly who was multiple Graded Stakes placed and 4th in the Juv Fillies.
There's both speed, turf, and I guess even synthetic (Tiago) influences in his pedigree...I'm not sure he will be as bad a stallion as everyone anticipates. That might not be saying much though.
