Why Super Frolic matters

Great post, and so true. This could have so easily been a story about FunnyCide instead of Super Frolic. You're correct, it's not a good story for the sport. I'm not familiar with Super Frolic's breeding, but it is a shame that *so* () many breeders overlooked his soundness/hardiness that he wasn't even allowed to stand *one* season.?? Give me a break! I'm sad for the future of the sport.
