Known him since I was young(Bob says however that I was never young, that I was born very old) and he taught me residual value on stallions and mares and how to figure it out.
Ask him about the time we had a gelding sold for top dollars and the guy selling blew it up because he tried to bribe the employee of a shiekh/prince.
That tough beat still nearly moves me to tears.

I know Bob Fox a long time. I am sure not as long as many because Bob is OLD and I am young. LOL. Anyway, Bob is a true historian of the game and the stories he tells are incredible. Perhaps the most incredible part is that many of the stories he tells -- when he is talking about the history -- he was part of it. The stories of Alydar and Affirmed and many others.
I do not know the story about the gelding being sold. I'll have to ask him.
