DTS, I'm so happy to hear that you breed for soundness. That makes my day to know some people in the game still prize it.

Genuine Risk,
I'd be so happy to show off my babies to you!
If you're coming up to Saratoga, they're on the way (Catskill exit). Rt 23 west.
A little over an hour out of the way from 87N, but well worth it.
PM me if before you leave NYC.
I think you'd like them.

Thank you for the offer; that's so nice!!! And if I come up on the off-season would that be okay? I have a riding buddy who is as addicted as I to all things horse and racing-related and I'm sure would LOVE the chance to see your babies (and grown-ups).

I so badly want to get to Saratoga, but holy cow; the summer gets filled with things I have to do-- most of which are work-related.

Genuine,
Off season is fine. Have a great (busy) summer.

A bump from July.

Have to assume the hit will be diminished since the breakdown is not in people's minds as much.

Hopefully we all avoid the cruelty articles that comes out of these things sometimes. It took a long time to recover the minor fan from something like the Ruffian incident.
