Rats. O'Brien's not a happy camper. Imagine if Street Sense or Circular Quay were retired right now sans injury, just because some new acquisition didn't pan out.
I'm actually bummed for the Jacksons because obviously what happened with Barbaro was tragic but they were the breeders of GW right? I know it's an indirect connection to them and much more minor in comparison but you feel bad that another one they've bred doesn't get a real shot as a stallion for whatever reason. Can't win.
Is he even going to be salvaged as a stallion or is this like Cigar? I saw them saying fertility issues not sterile. To me that's more AP Valentine-ish right? Are they going to try to treat him then?
