What a weird friggen horse. Who breeds to the sire Encosta De Lago (huh?) - and buys the horse from themselves for 500K as a yearling - only to nominate them late to the triple crown series off of a 4.5 furlong win at Mountaineer Park?
You do know that Encosta De Lago is one of the most expensive stallions in the world, right?

That's a breeding you would see commonly in England or Ireland.

No - I figured he just had a mare imported all the way from Australia who was like the Montbrook of Aussie sires.
