yeah, he may stay on the turf now.

and Strategic Mission, his sire, may become hot. Chester House passed a couple of years ago. that son of Mr Prospector had an abbreviated stud career after impressing on the turf. So Strategic Mission, a turf star in his own right and son of Mr Prospector, could be filling a big void now.

Showing Up is his only good horse, so I don't see that happening.

Go argue with him at finalturn. I respect the guy for sticking with him from the beginning and I wished I owned some Strategic Missions. Tagg owns and trains Stratonic out of Strategic Mission. Lets see how he runs.

Hard to say because he has so few. I am getting a few freebies next spring from a friend in KY, but if I had to pay I would look at Strategic Mission in NY. I think he is only a few thousand.

at this point Strategic Mission is very affordable. and Showing Up nicked to a C+...goes to show you that nicks are only a part of the evaluation process of a mating...i believe Behaving Badly was a C+ nick as well, so it pays to look at the big picture, including nicks, when evaluating the potential of a mating.
