Noone is out to get you, you simply need to learn when to say I goofed or I am sorry, a skill that most people are either taught as children or learn say, when they are a financial advisor and the tech wreck and market crash of 2000 comes along and continues for a while and 90% of the clients in your book are calling daily asking how the hell their kids are gonna go to college when the mutual fund that their educational IRA is in is down say 40%. At that point you learn to say I'm sorry about 1000 times a week and after a year or so you turn saying I'm sorry into an art form(even when its really not your fault). Probably the greatest life experience I ever had. If that doesnt teach you humility than nothing will.


It wasnt Bill Clintons fault

There's a nice stallion over in the UK that is very similarly bred to Candy Stripes (Groom Dancer.) He seems to be doing well over there.

Also, to judge how well Invasor will do as a stallion, keep an eye peeled for Leroidesanimaux. He's standing at Stonewall.

There seems to be quite a few decent stallions (Orientate included) that will help keep the Red God line going.

I forgot about Orientate ... his speed should serve him well as a stallion.

Are the Nashua and Never Bend branches completely gone now?

There are a few left...

There seems to be more of that line available in Europe.

Never Bend sired Mill Reef, sire of Shirley Heights, sire of Darshaan, sire of Mark of Esteem, sire of Sir Percy, recent winner of the Derby S. Never Bend is alive and well across the pond.

Nashua sired Good Manners, who had several important sire sons in Argentina; the recently deceased Paseana was sired by Ahmad, a son of Good Manners. Another son was leading Chilean sire Mocito Guapo, who has a couple of sons at stud in California - Malek and Memo, whose daughter Memorette won the Vanity last weekend.
