Do you think the best horse in training Wise Dan would be racing if he had balls?

you could have said the influx in additional older horses running is a direct result of the poor stallion market in 08-12 and the determination of owners that racing is more advantageous then crappy stallion deals...

Stallion-eligible colts/horses haven't been rushed off the last couple of years and we've have had a particularly nice group of older horses as a result. That's a inarguable fact. The mares were thrown in as additional evidence of owner/breeders providing extra seasons of pleasure for those that follow them. In most cases, Wise Dan and most other top-performing geldings wouldn't be top performers had they not been gelded.

I loved betting Pirates Bounty FTSs. Too bad he never got any really high quality mares bred to him.

Thanks.
Listening to Dorf speak is kind of funny. Conservative in what he says, and sounds like he's straight out of the 1950s. As for the horse, I'm guessing they really didn't think too much of him until he ran.
