The only times time doesn't fly is when at work, in traffic, or when I've got a kidney stone.

Blood Horse Magazine said that A.P. Indy was ranked #101 on their list of top 100 horses of the last century. He just missed the list.

He was a great race horse and sire and an incredible gift to racing. I am sad to hear that the sire of such horses as Bernardini, Mineshaft and Rags to Riches is no longer going to be passing along his talent.

But he certainly left his mark on the breed and racing is better off for his being foaled. I hope this champion enjoys his retirement - I can't think of another horse living who deserves it more.

No it wasn't; I get that he doesn't like my posts and that's fine, but it's like I ran over his dog or something.

Overrated because he was a very good sire.

If Ghostzapper had the start at stud that War Front did - he'd not only be a Hall of Fame nom ... but he'd probably get in on the first ballot.

Dude.

Seriously. You are turning into a Zenyatta lover these last couple of days.
