Theatrical was one of the first stallions I remember seeing an ad for on television. I didn't know much about the breeding industry at the time, so he was probably my introduction to it, and the more I found out about him as a racehorse and sire, the bigger a fan I was. It feels like the end of a personal era for me, watching so many of the stallions I first learned about now leaving us. For some reason, it didn't seem like that when Mr. Prospector passed because he'd been so established when I came into this sport. Losing horses like Theatrical makes me feel very nostalgic. Thanks for the retrospective on the show today, Steve, I appreciate it.
