Their offspring can't stay sound if they trained on marshmellows. They just ignore soundness issues and blame it on track surfaces. But hey, those sires sell well and that's the biggest thing, right? In that area, Discreet Cat will probably follow in his father's and grandfather's hoof prints. For my sake, I hope he does.

Yeah it's hard to believe that folks are breeding to Song and Forestry when monsters like Charismatic are in Japan or Turkey waiting for good mares. I will agree the Gaga over Forestry is mostly great marketing.
