Probably dropped the most money on Gander, never did I cash with him but I love the old boy. Paying him a visit next weekend at his farm in NH.

Perfect Drift for me.

Thanks Bold Ruler. My Uncle lives less than a mile away from the farm where Gander is living in Hampton Beach, NH. Moms Command also lives there.

We are heading out for a 3 day visit on Friday and a visit to Gander will be first on my list! I will take pictures and post them on here.

Gander, wondering is this area open to the public? I'd love to go see old Gander and I'm only an hour or so away.

Its not public per say, but the nice people who own & operate this farm would be happy to let any Gander fan in! I have been here 3 times and the hospitality is overwhelming. You can also get a glimpse of Mom's Command!
I will give you all the information when I get back.

Had a huge win bet-probably foolishly- on Point Given in the Derby and had him wheeled many times over Monarchos and -yes- Invisible Ink. Sure he was the favorite, but Ink underneath would have been huge and the win bet alone would have paid for the week in Louisville.

Having Powerscourt taken down in the 2004 Arlington Million is one of the more painful losses I've had. Probably the right call, but hurts all the same.
