I'll bet this guy gets a quality book of mares. I'll take a guess and say he stands for $20,000.

Another brilliant but brittle racehorse..

Not only due you have to deal with the soundness issue, you have to wonder how much drugs was pumped into him or any good race horse; and then if you sign a contract you might waste the whole season trying to breed to an infertile stud... Cause alot of these stud farm contracts say they try to hold you to 3 covers That bothers me....

if he hadn't been so talented maybe he wouldn't have become injured early in his 3 year old season. He ran in major races early and often, and very fast at that. Zito I hear has a great eye at the sales. The conformation and speed combo will be attractive to some breeders.

HE RAN EARLY but he ran OFTEN?

I dont't hink he was overworked..... Champaign/Breeders Cup/ break to Tampa Bay Derby, wood memorial... that's about right

I think he will get alot of commercial interest, his pedigree is not half bad and he's freakishly fast and can get two turns. that's not a combo you see everyday

30k.

but I would mostly attribute his early retirement to the races themselves, and the speed he ran them at. And the heavy training it takes to get to those races fit. That would be my best guess, instead of a conformation or pedigree problem.

what do you think of war pass confirmation wise.

I don't know alot about confirmation, but to me something about war pass doesn't look... right.
