I kinda figured it that would be the next thing we would hear. Heck since he cant breed might as well get some use out of him.

I kinda liked this horse last year. Nice looking colt. I am happy they are going to bring him back. They shouldn't have retired him, but maybe now we can enjoy him for a few years of racing.

I am really looking forward to seeing him this year. He was a great horse, just hate that the is sterile, but it does keep him on the track for a long time...

According to this; http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/othe...ng/6493173.stm He is not sterile, just has some fertility issues. George has 6 mares in foal to him. Looks like they will try him again at Stud after another season or so. I am looking forward to seeing him race again this year, as well.

Interesting. Thanks for the link.
I guess I had just heard that he was "sterile" so I assumed it was true. Wonder what the problems are? Not that the same is with GW, but I have always heard stories of these horses that just eventually grow tired of covering mares, which is interesting. Sort of the "Al Bundy's" of the equine world...

If they stick to the turf and a mile he will be a beast come late October.
