I often see a horse sells for millions and don't bet 'em in their maiden debut figure they are not in a hurry to win.
Skip Away was a 2 year old in training and he had a chip in his ankle. He wasnt the best made or bred horse either. I dont mind him as a sire but you have to wait till they are at least three and they prefer turf.
