War Front to Claiborne

Yeah, but I would have waited to see what Danzig's last crop has to offer before "settling". But I guess Claiborne cant compete monetarily with some of the larger operations, so they take gambles on second tier racers.

Hes a well bred horse who has high speed. Thats been the case lately.

I would agree he's got speed... but do you consider him a top tier sprinter? His dam has been solid in production and was solid on the track, but the family behind her isnt anything to write home about. Just seems like an odd pick for Claiborne, other than the Danzig connection.

Its pretty competitive out there for sires B.
The top end ones are going for ridiculous money and everyone seems to be trying to let the lesser tier ones. Its a crazy market.

Yeah, I understand that. Sort of where im coming from... I think this is quite indicative of Claiborne's placing on the farm hierarchy now. Either they need to start expanding books, or the Phipps, Delschneider, and their own mares better start producing some nice colts for them.
