Arromanches

[mikekay]

Sired a runner in the 10th at CD tonight, with not a bad record. How has he done as a sire?

You always have to be such a smart @$$.
Arromanches held up through 73 races and 800k on tough circuits. He had a paralyzed jaw and had to be fed with special care. The FACT that he sires winners with IN mares is a tribute to the horse. How would Arromanches be as a sire with quality mares...alot better than fancy KY sires.

Oh come on.....relax.

I will let you off the hook if you can tell me who claimed Arromanches after he won umpteen straight races and then watched him finish up the track.

is that a little turd under your legs?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Nah, It's a quarter on a string I think ... I'd use it to cheat the pop machines and vending machines into hooking me up and stuff. Free Pac Man!

Well, he does have a smiley on his face, no?

And I could have been worse, I could have said, "come to think of it, it looks...."

I believe this was a great claim for 16k

Arromanches was one of the most popular horses in NY and when I find one of his offspring as I browse the DRF, I try to make a note of it. Caixa Elektronika is probably his best.
Poor old Arromanches has to be feed a diet of mush because of his jaw. I required high maintenance but he was worth it.

Indeed . The 5 year old has been off for 7 weeks but working over the Keeneland poly since coming up from Calder . They seem to be handling him well and he's responded for his first black type. BM sire is Skip Away and there's 5 tail female reines so there is some nice breeding here .
