[Danzig]

i'd hate to see any of them go.

hard to believe tafel would be in a rush to retire--if he was interested in easy money, he'd have sold the guy back after the juvie, when offers started pouring in.
as for curlin, smart strike isn't exactly a huge horse, so i don't know that there will be a lot of interest in curlin-just like there wasn't in medaglia d'oro. el prado does well, as does smart strike, but they aren't A-list...

i think the one to watch is hard spun-everyone is looking for a colt by danzig to step in where the sire left off. hard spun is a good prospect, danzig has several in the top of the sires list, but no BIG, classic horse on the racetrack lately...talking stateside here of course...
