WOW!! How retarded is BWH, after all the money he spends year after year at the sales, he finally gets a runner who is primed to make some noise in what is bound to be a weak handicap division next year.

This game is so a$$ backwards. We don't breed to race, we race to breed.

You are SO right. What makes me laugh is his idea that if the horse doesn't win, he retires. Logically, if the horse doesn't win, he would need to race some more to improve his credentials for stud and his eventual fee. It's not like Harlan's Holiday over Tricky Creek is the height of fashion and would command top fees.

I'm sorry, I don't care if the horse won a GI as a 2YO, I just couldn't figure out a way to justify retiring the horse when there will surely be other sons of Harlan's Holiday out there to hit the shed in the near future who will have exceptionally superior credentials than does Into Mischief.

HH has already surpassed what I expected from him as a sire.
Harlan isnt exactly a sire of sires. Menifee has just been ok.

It was just posted in bloodhorse.com that the Malibu will be his final start, and both he and Tiz Wonderful will stand for 12,500 next year at Spendthrift.

It was a joke chit head, and I think anyone who can take a couple thousand dollars and turn it into 4.7 billion is way freakin smarter than you or I.
Secondly , I dont want to see the horse retire I ride him everyday and he is doing better than ever , but he is not my horse and its not my call . The good thing is that Wayne keeps buying and racing and breeding and pumping millions of dollars into this industry , so if he decides to retire HIS horse or ride him in a parade Im sure he will buy more .

Hey I havent seen (Buddy) Pres. Cause around since Oneil ran him back a few times after the claim ,I wonder whats up with him.
PP , I dont want Wayne to retire Into Mischief and even though he has announced it again , he told me in the paddock before the race after I asked him about the retirement that pretty much he is open to changing his mind at anytime with the horse , so.... I have heard talk around the barn that we could be looking at the Cigar Mile in between now and the Malibu , dont know if it wil happen but I would venture to say that if he wins that race , jus maybe he wont be retired. Im crossing my fingers.

Girl, I got a stable alert on P.C, and he is running at Turf Paradise. He has been claimed several times since Oneil had him and ran at FairPlex once or twice. I saw the plans for Mischief on the Spendthrift website, since I am going to KY, for my first ever visit Nov 19-25th!! C is supposed to be sweet talking you know who into making some calls to get us in a few farms and places we really want to go. And if you hear of any high jinks going on around PP, you know nothing, you see nothing!!!! but I will let you know were you can visit him.......
