Horse has earned at least that, IMO. Don't they train new stallions on test mares or something, Aleo should find LITF one of those and let him have his fun.
Frank Lyons actually thought it was a good idea to breed him to a couple mares as possible in the next couple days. Not sure how I feel about that because both sides of the argument (Money driven vs trying to continue his legacy) would have valid points.

If he is not to sick to show an interest in mares, I would say go ahead and breed him. I would love to see a few LITF's running around even if they weren't of race quality in the earlier stages of their career because it is so late in the year. I know that breeding him is probably near impossible though because there are an enormous amount of obstacles to overcome in a very, very short period of time.
I am still devastated about his cancer. I wish they could do something for him. I knew that he had a physical problem all year and that he was a lot better horse than he showed in his races this year despite everyone else saying that he wasn't good enough. I really do wish that I had been wrong. I wasn't expecting it to have been something so devastating as this. It is a wonder the poor horse could run at all. He really may have been a "superhorse". Now, we will never know. It would really be nice if he could continue his legacy through a few foals.
