Hmmm. According to the Glasgow Daily Record, "HORSERACING mogul John Magnier is in talks to buy a Scottish firm who make sausage skins, it was rumoured yesterday."

If this expert puts the official stamp on George "Dubya's" infertility, will he be returned to racing?

They retired a newly turned 3YO? What is going on here??????

Rats. O'Brien's not a happy camper. Imagine if Street Sense or Circular Quay were retired right now sans injury, just because some new acquisition didn't pan out.

I'm actually bummed for the Jacksons because obviously what happened with Barbaro was tragic but they were the breeders of GW right? I know it's an indirect connection to them and much more minor in comparison but you feel bad that another one they've bred doesn't get a real shot as a stallion for whatever reason. Can't win.

Is he even going to be salvaged as a stallion or is this like Cigar? I saw them saying fertility issues not sterile. To me that's more AP Valentine-ish right? Are they going to try to treat him then?

Maybe it's just me but I wonder why so many recent stars have had fertility problems.

'roids.


not sure he'll return to the track, depends as said above on insurance. if there is a policy, then the ins co would own the horse.
it's a shame these two horses are by danehill--if they were by any other stallion, they'd both still be running. but everyone is trying to replace him, and make some bucks off his legend.
here's hoping geo comes back to the track. i'd imagine he will.

You've got a point, and I'm not trying to deduce the reasons behind retiring GW, but he accomplished a whole hell of a lot, that based on our breeding industry here could be construed as him having proven himself enough.

I don't say that in jest either, he was a hell of a racehorse around a mile, and with his bloodlines he'd be a lucrative stud offering in any market really.

Umm, you answered your own question....I wondered if Mott ever got his hands on GW, circa 1996...Freaking nonsense these guys.

I dont believe that there are that many, just a whole lot more being made stallions than racing
