He came out of the JCGC with a minor shin injury when the ground broke out from under him coming out of the gate. TJ

A stallion career looks more auspicious for Cross Traffic, especially now that his sire has created a breeding void that it is open for the taking, and right before the remaining crops of Unbridled's Song rightfully make their claim for their own prospective legacy.

In addition, is it a wise decision to expect more starts from a slowly campaigned 4-year-old whose talent is proven and the breeding world is rubbing their hands, waiting to breed from him ---especially their connections?

Only raced six times, still a fresh horse with a minor injury.

Unfortunate what happened in his last, would've been nice to what he had for em' going the Classic distance. It'll be interesting to see what they do with him. No doubt they take a look at the stakes schedule, see if he fits anywhere. Maybe allow him the necessary time to rest and recover from his injury and should the schedule permit, give him a look going long. If he can prove himself at the Classic distance that will likely increase his value at stud.

Is he owned by GoldMark or just laying up there?
