I saw him at Vinery in 2000, and he looked like he was going to die back then. He was the only stallion still at Vinery at that time (the rest had shuttled), and they said he looked terrible due to problems related to being a wobbler.

I'm glad he lasted as long as he did, looking back, but this does suck.

Looking forward to his 2yos of 2012, which will be the crop from which he first stood for over 50k (75k).

Oh, the accounts of his retirement are not accurate. He bowed before the Preakness. I was told this a few days before his retirement was even announced by someone relatively close to the situation, off the record.

Very sorry IC.

thanks.

I have always felt he should have been one of the all time greats, had things gone differently for him. That he was as awesome as he was, while being a wobbler, is nearly incomprehensible.
