We are talking about him because we like fact that he wasn't whisked away to stud as soon as he raced 10 times. And we like the fact that he can still compete in graded races 3 years after his burst of excellence.

Those are all fine horses. Is there a restriction on Derby Trail on how many horses we can like or talk about? I may have missed seeing the quota.

Ha! You put up a post sure to inflame Funny Cide fans, and then end it with a plea to not "keep it going". How about being the "bigger man" yourself, and not writing stuff like "The horse is a has been"?!

Sheer hypocrisy.
