That made me laugh, too, and I freely admit to having an unhealthy obsession with his recovery... Barbaro's, that is. Not so much Jason Giambi's azzz.

Can't remember if I asked you this or not... but did you see Albert the Great when you went?

[Danzig]

no, he was out visiting friends....lol

saw wild again, rahy, war chant, smarty (or his evil twin?? um, he's not SHY at all if you get my drift...) point given, rahy and sky mesa. sure wish i coulda seen dynaformer.
point given only was interested in his feed bucket. smarty and i posed for a photo..i uh, blocked his prized possession so as not to frighten children if they ever see the pic!

That's awesome that you saw most of them. Wild Again was pensioned a couple of years ago, right? Did he still look fat and happy?

he was out in his paddock munching away.
i asked if there was any way to see slew o'gold. shot down in flames. 'he's not on the tour' she said. dammit. and since i refuse to grovel, esp when it would be futile, i left it alone.

rahy is a HAM! poses for the camera. war chant is full of himself.

but i enjoyed claiborne more. monarchos is a big puppy. have pics of me and him, i could have petted him all day, he wouldn't have minded i don't think. but the groom on the other hand...and tony...

pulpit was very well behaved, as was arch...seeking the gold, i wouldn't want to be the one to handle that guy! but the highlight of the entire trip, danzig! so glad i got to see him.

we also went to the cemetary there, it was very touching. and i know they buried danzig there this winter. the groom said that when they lost devil's bag that at first when everyone found out a horse was down, they all thought it was danzig. thank goodness it wasn't.

so much history there...easy goer, secretariat, mr p all still have their nameplates on the stalls they were in...eddington wasn't there yet, but he's going to his old mans stall.
wonder where first samurai will be? maybe in danzigs old place, since they're related...a bit distantly, but still.

it's so nice that they stall a horse where a family member once was.

Thank you for telling me about it... I'm so glad Monarchos was nice. One of our clients is his breeder and he really helped put Two Bucks Farm on the map for them. I hope I can visit Claiborne one day as well.

[Danzig]

cajun--I saw albert the great two years ago when I was there--he was sound asleep and never woke up even though there must have been twenty people in the barn---his groom said "that's the sleepingist horse I ever did know" (real quote word for word).
