Just because of his pedigree.

Red Cadeaux would have made it a real tight finish had he got clear earlier,he never saw daylight until very late but Animal's sprint at the head of the lane was exceptional........lovely horse indeed.

Animal Kingdom seems to me like some kind of 21st century Unbridled ---and that is something! What a great horse he is. Hope that his eventual breeding career mirrors that of Unbridled. We wouln't like to witness another Arcangues. I say this because his lines are not necesarily mainstream. Anyway, up to this day, his racing resume is becoming a power source.

I had a nice win bet on this guy again. Superb animal and a marvelous training job by Mr Motion.

Animal Kingdom may run next at Royal Ascot, before being retired to stud in Australia. TJ

If insurance coverage re breeding-qualities/fertility/libido etc etc etc of Animal Kingdom is to be obtained...I don't expect any insurance underwriter(s) in their right mind would consider binding such coverage if such testing/examination/checking (as you suggested) is done in advance of possible coverage(s) being bound.

Insurance/coverage(s) aside...Aniimal Kingdom (by Leroidesanimaux) is one HELLUVA race horse, and has not only handled, but also sparkled (if you will) on surfaces galore...WOW; and with Royal Ascot likely on AK's near horizon...possibly WOW again.

Leroidesanimaux (an eclipse award winning runner himself) has certainly sired a VERY special colt in Animal Kingdom...and among his array of attributes, AK is (for starters) Gifted, Versatile, Tenacious, Grand-looking etc etc etc; and certainly GREAT in the eyes of many.

To my way of thinking, Animal Kingdom's versatility and exceptional talent speaks volumes for his sire Leroidesanimaux (Candy Stripes, by Blushing Groom).

Best to ya.

How about MEGA WOWs :wink:

to Animal Kingdom...well earned WOWs to trainer Graham Motion for a job very well done (and likely still in progress)...and what about WOWs of acknowledgement to Barry Irwin also; after all, I get a VERY strong sense that Irwin absolutely, positively believed in the prospects of Animal Kingdom winning the Dubai World Cup waaaaaaaaaay before Graham M did.

May the WOWs continue as this wonderful horse known as Animal Kingdom, trainer Motion (and his team), and Team Valor move forward. And what about a Bravo too for Sheik M and Darley getting involved to secure Animal Kingdom's northern hemisphere breeding future.

Outstanding...Bravo to ALL

!!!
