A horse of less than stellar breeding. Forestry isn't a top stallion by statistics or any other measure. A horse who hasn't ever run farther than 1 furlong. An eighth of a mile. I guess if he can get healthy and they start writing 1f G1 races then he might have a chance. NOT AT ALL! No stallion that I know of has the credentials he has quoted.

I think the razing was deserved. I am all for having this place remain friendly, but we must continue to make sure it is also a place of quality information and not delusional rhetoric.

They do.... the All American Futurity.

You never know is my point. But I do agree with you. Who knows what boodmares Coolmore has that they would breed to The Green Monkey. But I do wish the horse luck in the shed.

Can anyone find a link to the SI story that started this whole thread? Or did I miss it. I can't find it myself on the SI website.
