Are we breeding the longevity out of these animals faster than global warming becomes a relavant event?

Hopefully long. She's not very good, but has grown on me.

I think Pletcher should point either her or Panty to the Personal Ensign. A disappointing list of horses pointed there.

Really though, hasn't she done enough?

Broken Vow is by Unbridled --- not Unbridleds Song.

It's a bad week to have 'cotton' in your name...High Cotton was also retired.

Sorry Ms. Swap Fliparoo (the poster) no more Hi-C

I agree that he sired fragile horses, but I certainly wouldn't say "fast" ones.

He's actually won the four major Classic distance races for 3-year-olds with four different differnt horses.

Derby: Grindstone (who closed with a furious rally to get up)

Preakness: Red Bullet

Belmont: Empire Maker

Travers: Unshaded (who came with a big late run to nail Albert the Great)

Most of his horses were two-turn routers who came from off-the-pace.
