the significant thing to me about MDO besides all the things you mentioned is that his offspring should act on turf as well.
I always wanted to see MDO run in one of those Grade 1 turf races at Del Mar at 8 or 9f.
think he would have done very well, but obviously he had more money to make in the handicap division.
only time not to run top 2 was the KY Derby and Preakness if I remember correctly.
should make an excellent sire and its good that we will have some of the Sadlers Wells blood in this country.
