His prowess as a sire aside. I was standing on the apron at the sixteenth pole when he won the Classic at Lone Star. Breathtaking.

Precious few if any of the BC Classic winners would have beaten him that day.

Wowzer!!

Vic, I agree. I was watching the race on the apron as well with Tim Ritchey and JJ, my eyes were popping out of my head. Tim Ritchey, turn to us and said, "He's a sprinter that can go a mile and a quarter". Awesome performance against a real good group.

i think it's good for the breed that he's turned out to be a bust. hate to see fragile horses in the shed. people used to breed to better the horse as a whole-now they just go for speed, speed, speed. soundness be damned.
