Sorry for all you Americans not to see him racing.

He was a star on the racetrack.

What a horse and what a pedigree !! It will be interesting to see who gets him for stud duty. Maybe Zenyatta can make a visit? LOL

Disappointed, but not terribly surprised. More disappointed that he won't race next year than about the Breeders' Cup, but again, not really surprised.

I don't think anybody will be surprised when they announce where he's going.

They took it down when people started calling the farm to ask... but I assure you it was a legitimate page.

I'm sure it looked legitimate.

The Irish national stud is fav.
Coolmore won't get him.

We posted something on our site as to what we would do if we managed the horse. He is the one horse that can break the commercial grip on stallions and stand privately...

Looks like he's going to the Aga Khan's Stud at Giltown
