Our old friend, Key Contender, is still standing in NY. He made 56 starts and got his Grade 1 at age 7 when the Suburban Handicap was run in November in 1995.
Sidenote: Arromanches was bought by a group that Gary (Contessa) headed when he saw the horse entered for $4,000 at Philly Park - he's on a farm in Indiana now. He's a parrot mouthed horse that needs his food mashed in a tub for him, and there's a funny story behind him:
At one time, Arromanches won seven races in a row and an old trainer named Harry Wendell had lost 84 races in a row over a three year period. Harry claimed Arromanches from Scott Lake and said, "If I can't win with this horse, I'm going to quit training." Arromanches ran fourth in his next race and Harry Wendell retired the next day - so the horse went back to Scott Lake and won his next start. LOL!

I saw Arromanches race when he was an old geezer...and he broke from the gate first and cut over to the rail from the outside post. No slowing reflexes THERE! He was awesome. definitely looked tired after the race though. Looked like "Can I retire now? PLEASE?"
All shouting does is make you lose your voice.
