I didn't think either of his two Turfway wins were that impressive.

For his ad they should write "Would have won the Ky Derby if a field of idiotic jockeys didn't allow Street Sense to pass 17 of the 19 other horses in the race, while never having to leave the live rail path."

Perception trumps reality in the stallion business...at least until the horses hit the track

I like his chances as a stallion

hmmm.
so no one pays attention to the stallion list? but didn't smart strike go up because of the big days some of his have had lately?

but yeah, breeding to race vs breeding to sell. commercial wise no doubt there are more fashionable horses. like forestry! than you too could overpay for a horse who will tease you with the flashes of talent, and then run up the track race day...
wonder how magical masquerade is doing these days? and that soon to be two year old filly she had.;)

Langfuhr has never had a year like SS let alone a day like he has had lately

And that in a nutshell is what is wrong with the industry. The stud career has become the raison d'etre; the racing career is only to qaulify for a stud career and once that is done, off they go. Totally upside down.
