I think it proves we are in a lot of trouble in terms of quality horse flesh on our side of the pond for years to come. We're not breeding horses to compete in those type races, and if we are, they're bought-up before they can even get to that point.

raven's pass was bred and owned by stonerside-they chose to send him there for turf racing, which paid off for the horse. they sold a half interest to darley, and then of course darley became the sole owner when they bought up stonerside in its entirety from the mcnairs.

“He is one of the best examples of the breed—fast, strong, and durable,” Jackson said. “I predict he will make a substantial contribution to our sport through his gene pool, and I am looking forward to seeing his foals compete and possibly exceed his unequaled race record.”


steve....we really need a nauseated or puking face...sometimes the eye roll just isn't enough.

unequaled race record?

this, from the assman:

“Curlin made his mark in the history books in so many ways: as a classic winner, as a colt who traveled to Dubai and captured the World Cup, and who returned to take three more Grade 1 races and tally record earnings,” trainer Steve Asmussen said. “His physical and mental attitude is unparalleled and he retires perfectly sound.”

but...i just want to know-did he ever stop and stare at a bird for several minutes?
