A. P. Valentine

Anyone know what's up with him? I really liked him as a race horse. I know he had fertility problems and went to Texas in the beginning of 2004. Wondered what's happened with the fertility, if he has any foals, who now owns him (did he get turned over to the insurance company, did the insurance company sell him?). Hope the lack of fertility doesn't result in his going down the ownership ladder where he gets gelded, returns to the track or some such horror story that we read of.

A.P. Valentine is in Texas and is owned by a fertility vet to my recollection. He is standing to outside mares, but he is really infertile and would be used with caution.

Here's a prior link on A.P. Valentine. Only 1 in 4 mares get in foal to him, but Dr. Day has a pretty good handle on which mares have the best chance. Call him!
