This is weird. He's 17 years old and I recognized his name because his (only?) offspring raced with a little success at Emerald and in Northern Cal a few years ago. He's being marketed as a riding horse. Just interesting to think about where he's been and thought I'd point him out.

That's Grandpa Chan's sire . . . . . . . . . . and he is the only listed progeny of Papa Chan.

The site lists him as 15.1, that's pretty small for a thoroughbred stallion that isn't Northern Dancer. He's been listed for a while.
