![]() Loggins to Hill 'n' Dale
Quote:
That said, he is a phenomenal sire of female sprinters (Goodnight Olive, Judy the Beauty, Paulassilverlining, Guarana). Quote:
Even so, Ghostzapper has been an inconsistent sire; he’s cracked the leading sire top ten 10 only twice since 2014, one year on the back of Shaman Ghost’s Pegasus Faux Cup earnings (when it was $12 million) & the other when Mystic Guide walloped Chuwa Warrior & Sleepy Eyes Todd in a weak renewal of the Dubai World Cup. Quote:
Better late than never, right? Quote:
And if you are so certain that he was a Grade 1 talent than there’s no reason to regret that he didn’t accomplish more on the racetrack…but we both know that’s not true. Quote:
Even that was difficult as he spent most of the time at the Black Hole @WinStar. Quote:
Remember, as George Costanza said: it’s not a lie if you believe it… Quote:
What do we need races like the the 3yo classics, the Met Mile, etc. for then? Meanwhile, I won’t delve into Maclean’s Music’s stud career but sufficed it to say, his top runners aside from champion Jackie’s Warrior were one hit wonder Cloud Computing & flash in the pan Drain the Clock… Quote:

Some physical. I know, I know; there’s no way to know that a horse is going to get hurt (“it’s too bad”) with all the “stepped in a hole”& “it’s part of the game” & whatnot. Certainly can’t make any predictions based on a horse’s physical attributes. Quote:

Quote:
At any rate, apparently Liz Crow (who refuses to eat crow on this horse) also was going to buy Loggins regardless of future earnings on the racetrack. Horse didn’t even make half his purchase price back. I’m sure they’ll mention this later in the article. Quote:
You want a talking horse? Go grab some peanut butter. Quote:
I guess considering his subsequent fragility, I presume he was “under wraps” in more ways then one. Bubble and whatnot… Quote:
Conspiracies aside (save that for “must-haves” at the yearling sales), is that how low we have to stoop to advertise a stallion? "Overpriced at the sales & favored in a race that he lost"…Sign me up. Quote:
“Forte beat Loggins.” or "Forte showed more heart than Loggins." Quote:
4 made it to the race. None of them won. They didn’t win the Preakness or Belmont, either. Quote:

![]() I believe Hill n Dale sponsors him on Steve's show and is a stalwart in the breeding industry. He is a VERY sharp mind! He would shred this as complete I forgot what he called it on Steve's show, but it was GOOD. lol

He was close, I was sitting on a day bed when I made my post. However, he wasn't so close on his recollection of Vice Regent being stood at stud simply because his owner/breeder had a "gut feeling". Vice Regent, who broke his maiden by 14 lengths but was felled by injury, was the younger full brother of Viceregal, who was Canadian HOY as an undefeated 2yo in 8 starts. Their sire was the great Northern Dancer who was taking off as a young stallion. Viceregal was from his limited first crop, which proved to yield an unheard of nearly 50% stakes winners. In addition, the second dam & her get produced all kinds of champions, Queen's Plate winners, stakes horses, and track record setters. EP Taylor would have been a fool not give Vice Regent a shot at stud. |

![]() It must have hurt you deeply if you pulled that terminology from memory. Steve, when Sid is marginalizing the plight of the Keyboard Warriors, can you please correct him and let him know that ATR is inclusive programming and the systemic dismantling of people in their daybed is unacceptable? #SaveRollo

![]() Isn’t Preakness winner Rombauer still in training? What more does he have to prove? I realize the Preakness win is probably dragging him down a bit but he finished a solid 2nd in the G1 American Pharoah in only his third start. Isn’t that enough?

![]() Interesting. I’ll be rooting for that horse whenever he resurfaces on the track.
