Steve Dunn was on ATR Monday and tells the rather amazing back story of Buster Rose who avoided dying ahead of this run of 5 for 5 turf sprint wins at age 6. It's a tale that again shows how there are countless things that conspire to limit a horse's potential and persevering to unlock them can be can incredibly rewarding. Especially for a small operation like Steve Dunn's. They'll point Buster Rose for the Shakertown in April, a stake that interestingly produces 6-7 year old winners regularly.
