Nope, word is he's supposed to be back at 4.
He could be a force in 2007.

I think a new owner would be more relevant.

It would be great to see Outofthebox have a great 2007 campaign
with the big gray colt. Good luck to Obox and his crew for and
outstanding year with Achilles of Troy. I wish many victories to
you.

Thank you. That makes me crazy, too.

Thanks for the good luck wishes. He's definately has a long road ahead of him. His injury was not minor by any means.. Anyway he breezed ok. He was never a fast worker or dazzled you with his am activity, so i was not suprised he just ambled around there slowly.
As for the name. the boss' daughter liked the character Achilles from the movie Troy. He then told her that Achilles was from Greece, and she did not like how that sounded..So there you have it...Have to keep your children happy!

my daughter was told if she wanted to watch that movie in my house, she'd have to wait til i was nowhere around. i've read the iliad several times, no way i can picture brad pitt in that role!!!

poor horse, named after a pretty boy.
