I actually thought after he ran that big one behind Sunriver (?) that he might keep going forward. He hasn't embarassed himself in any way -- ran big at Keeneland too, but he can't manage to get home in front in any of the big ones.

Then again I'm obviously a huge sucker for both of them....so I'm probably very biased on the whole thing.

I wasn't actually saying that I don't think Lewis Micheal will end up as a stud somewhere...he very well may...I was only saying that the success of his sister probably won't make him more sought after by the larger outfits.

I got ya -- I was asking in the bigger general sense of if he will be sought after, which i think is what you were saying "not really" to.

10-4

By then I should have made myself a successful touring musician and I'll go get me one.

I'm probably more likely to sire a graded winner than Lewis Michael.

it's all about matching you with the right mare...perhaps whoever is planning your matings needs to be fired

Yes! In fact I just had this very conversation with my advisor on such matters, Mystic Zelda. She has also let me down on a couple recent Exacta back-wheels.
