Default Overbrook Farm to Disperse Stock
I just saw this in an email... What's the story here? I know Storm Cat has been pensioned, but what about the rest of their stallions.

well, when I first posted, the only thing on the Bloodhorse page was a picture of Storm Cat and the headline...

Didn't they effectively give up when Dallas Stewart started receiving some of their horses?

suprised Sheik Mo hasn't made an offer for the whole farm.

Default Overbook Farm's dispersal
This is a sad day for racing. William T. Young worked so hard to build a successful farm before he passed away. I hope that someone steps up and buys all of his blue-blooded mares and sends them to Birdstone. How cool would it be to see a few Flanders - Birdstone, Surfside Birdstone, and Golden Attraction - Birdstone colts?

It would be almost as cool as people glancing at the first ten threads before posting information that came out many hours earlier.

Hey, did you here about Dunkirk?

He broke his maiden with a visually impressive, yet ultimately slow, performance.

I still think he might be a good one. I can hardly wait until he stretches out. This could be Pletcher's year in the KY Derby.

Blame it on the sticky threads.

What, I am not reporting breaking news (and I never claimed to have). I know that the dispersal is all over the web. I just hope that someone plays a Mr. Jackson and sends the mares to Birdstone.
... as for Dunkirk, Steven Byk posted that a long time ago. That's not really news either. We all know that Quality Road is better. He proved it on the track. Why waste time even talking about Dunkirk? Will he ever even see another racetrack? That's a pretty big injury.

Did I dream this or do I now recall hearing Dunkirk broke his leg during a tornado. I don't remember which one it was or I'd be able to do a better search. Can anyone post a link?

I haven't had a stable mail workout notification on Old Fashioned since before the Arkansas Derby.

Is he alright?
