Strong Contender to Stonewall

You and me both on that one Cannon. If he has truly retired, he's probably done enough. He did dominate older horses last year.

Stonewall Farm Stallions has purchased multiple graded winner Too Much Bling and will stand him for $10,000 at Sequel Stallions near Ocala, Fla., in 2007. Too Much Bling, a 3-year-old son of Rubiano and the Formal Dinner mare Rose Colored Lady, won the Grade 2 Carry Back and Grade 2 San Vicente Stakes and the Grade 3 Bay Shore Stakes, and earned $509,674.


Bet You Didn't Know: Too Much Bling's dam, Ready For Roses, is in foal to Smarty Jones for the 2006-'07 breeding season.

I know Robfla, I was being sarcastic, but that's hard to read on a message board. So was he injured and retired, or did they figure he'd just be in great demand as a stallion because of the 40 or 50 bullets Baffert had him fire leading up to the BC?

I think Stonewall wants to expand their breeding operation so are just breeding anything with four legs and a set of testicles and hoping a couple succeed at stud. I guess if they are looking for eight new stallions and can get two out of six to pan out each year they'll get there in four years. Doesn't seem a good strategy to me since the majority of the horses would be better served on the track this year but I guess they can blow their millions however they want.

when i saw the news yesterday, my first thought was 'who didn't see that coming?!'

Currently I have a hard time seeing any of the stallions they stand having any major success.

Me too but at least if they have six with little chance of success their chance of one succeeding is a little better.

Not really
