You're the best, Bigs. Very thoughtful.

Sorry about Gemologist. He was one of my Derby boys this year.

Oh well at least Junebug is still around.

Maybe not winning but whatever.

Soldat, Smooth Air, Flashy Bull... I do know how to pick them!

That thread is easily Top 3 Derby Trail Hall of Fame material.

When you beat the Ness chalk at the wire at 14-1, it's time to fist pump.

How much of a demand is there to have Gemologist's genes to be added to the future generation of race horses?

Gemologist's signature victories are two Restricted stakes races which are the Kentucky Jockey Cup, and the Wood Memorial. It took this horse 3 months to recover from the November KJC race to get back to the track. A paid workout race at Gulfstream and followed up with another month in the barn. Then a victory over a 2nd rate Alphain the Wood Memorial.

My final question is how will this horse's DNA improve racing in the future years ahead?

For a second there, I thought you were Big Brown posting, but then I remembered, horses wouldn't brag about how big they are.
