I don't know if I would say that a horse which never won a stakes at 10f "loved real estate."

I was wrong about his age; he was five. Perhaps it was a weak year, but he just missed the award. My point was that he was not a sprinter and Golden Missile is by a sire known for getting longer distance horses.
