I'm happy for Rob and Chris (the breeders) they have put a lot of faith in that female family they own the 2nd and 3rd dams as well as win my heart....

An excerpt form today's Bloodhorse.com about his $2.2 MIL Mr Greeley colt...

"I come here with no preconceived notions," Irwin added. "I don't look at the catalog; I just look at all the horses, and this horse just stuck out. He's an incredible physical specimen. He's got everything you look for. He has an incredible shoulder and great balance. You don't (usually) see a horse that big that has that kind of balance. He's got what I call 'The Look,' for lack of a better expression."

The colt's genetic potential to compete on a variety of surfaces also attracted Irwin's interest. In addition to grade I winners on dirt, Mr. Greely has sired European champion Finsceal Beo

"One of the reasons I bought this horse is because I think he'll be able to run on anything. He should be able to run on dirt, Polytrack, turf, whatever. There is going to be Polytrack everywhere, and I've tried to shy away from certain bloodlines that just don't have an affinity for it."
