I can never see too many photos of these past greats. Thank you for sharing them.

Four of them retired to Old Friends. Precisionist (RIP) - what a sharp horse (I am staring at a framed photo of him at the Breeders' Cup), I can remember how thrilled Michael Blowen was to get him. Taylor's Special was there, too. Lost him the same year as Precisionist. You can still see Ogy and Gulch at the farm today.

Even better looking when Dickie Small got rid of that hack Vincent Bracciale.

See the bridle BB had on? An overcheck is almost never seen now. Funny that in all those pictures not a single horse is wearing a figure 8 bridle that 1/2 the field in any 2011 race now wears.

Ogygian is still alive?

I thought he was exported somewhere and had died.

I can barely remember seeing more than a couple of his progeny run.

He's at Old Friends. He's missing an eye, but comes over readily for carrots. I'll post one of him tonight.

Whatever happened to him? Did he go to Japan? I guess he was a total flop at stud.

I remember, I think it was Nerud, being quoted early in Ogygians career, when the hype was still massive on him, that he was worth $105 million as a stallion prospect.

I was like, "uh, yeahhhhhhhhhhh".

Fun horse however!

Well he did beat Ketoh.

Taylor's Special is one of my favorites. I'll never forget his battles with Silent King as 3yos in 1984. Thanks for posting the photos.

I'm not knocking Ogygian, mind you. He was a pretty nice horse. I just couldn't see a total speedball son of Damascus worth 100+ mil, that's all.

Ketoh, I thought he was going to be a real good one too. Lukas at his finest.
