lol yes

But to say he had a completely unspectacular year would be an overstatement.

The days of the 'wow' horse seem to be a thing of the past, so hanging hats on the more workmanlike runners while keeping historical perspective in-tact is not the worst way to keep interest in this game.

Well stem cell research is a priority because horse racing fans aren't going to live forever. There's a 20 year window to keep the majority of fans alive.

And Jackson has said that's his final offer to buy the horse out, it won't increase.

So Jackson has Midnight Cry as minority partners through the stallion thing. I wonder what the contract says about participation and financial obligations of the minority partners re: the stud deal?

And if those lawyers have money to throw at a horses' stallion career as minority partners, yeah, I think those $$ ought to go to replace the $$ they stole from their phen-fen clients.

The BH article says a lawyer for Stonestreet said it might cost Tandy as much as $1million a year to support their share. Is that possible? He also invoked Cigar, so it might have been scare tactics. (Booga booga, expensive sterile horse, booga booga) I assume there's infertility insurance on him, right?
