Beautiful picture... I'm glad you posted it.

Glad he's still among the living.

He may have had issues, but he still raced 29 times which is probably top 10 in number of career starts by any stallion retired in the past decade.

He is a millionaire. He is a grade 1 winner. Solid credentials based on what else is being retired to stud.

Just sayin'!

All of which is meaningless in this breeding market.

I think his accomplishments are what make him undesirable.

Much like you and me.

I think people will go to him.

He has a speed pedigree.

He was fast.

He was at least a pretty decent miler, and there is a perception that good milers make the best stallions.
