More of this, please.
He didn't have the pedigree to support being whisked off to stud duty after recovering from the Belmont imo. He was brought back to build a resume, which you can make the case that he kinda did. Versatile and determined - best way to describe him and I'd take that over preciosity any day. Hall of famer? World beater? hmm... I don't know.. certainly a discussion...But he showed up every time and amassed a nice fortune on the track.
