If you got a chance to take a close look at him you might change your opinion. It is hard to spend that type of money on any unproven stallion, but he has the dirt and the turf breeding.

I'm aware of his bloodlines, but I feel the way I do strictly because of his conformation faults. I feel exactly the same way towards Storm Cat. I am more impressed with straight legged, sound horses. Let's see how his babies turn out. That will be the real indicator.

Smarty Jones? His foals are genetically inclined to be massively overrated.

Afleet Alex had a full brother and sister who both used to run at Canterbury Park and Tampa Bay Downs.
I believe Alex was a Northern Afleet colt out of Maggie Hawk, correct?'

Both Afleet Angel and Native Hawk had the same parents.
Both had somewhat short, but successful careers (although at a much lower level than Afleet Alex did).
I believe they would be 5-yo's this year, and I assume they are retired as neither has raced in over a year, and once AA became huge, their connections probably figured to cash in, if they could.

I thought Native Hawk was out of a different mare.

Unforgettable Max was a very nice looking horse. (AA's full sib.) Looked him up on pedigreequery.com. Won over 300,000.00. 23 starts, 5 wins, 3 seconds, and one third. Not bad. Anyone know anything else about him?

Unforgettable Max? He ran pretty recently, I believe NY to Maryland, and he was OK. Is it possible he was second in the General George at a big price to a Dutrow horse two or three years ago? I want to say it was the one Badge of Silver was in.

ESPN just sent a crew out to where Barbaro is according to attheracesandbeyond. I think I'm going to vomit.

Janine Edwards had planned on going for tonight's sportscenter as an update because of Saturday's surgery. Nothing new, he is actually doing much better today.
