The first thing you read from the breeding farms, sired 5 diff. Grade I winners. I am just making a plead to let them keep running instead of winning a few prestigous races and then retired while they are at max. breeding value... Avoid competition that might make a horse look "mortal". Its so false and sometimes just downright flippant.

OOOHHHHHH!!, I get why you're so bitter about new stallions now.....I should have seen this agenda from a million miles away.....know wonder you hate new stallions..BUT, to say they are not important is flat wrong.....savvy horse players will argue that they are because I know...I play pedigrees all the time...that is why they are ofered in the Form as a stat and that is why you here analysts on TVG, etc...talking about horses and mentioning there family ALL THE TIME when handicapping races......now I see you r angle....you are bitter about horses retiring early and that is why you despise them when they go to stud....I see clearly now
