Curlin does not come from the greatest family which may adveresely affect his stud career. but his family is solid with dams that have produced many runners and some black type.

I would hope both of them will finish out the 3 yo season. I mean we need some horses to challenge Invasor, dont we....Whatever happened to the days when the 3yo champion would head out to California and aim for the Strub series for 4 yo's.....

Light years are a measure of distance, not time.

Thanks. I'll be here all week.

i'd hate to see any of them go.

hard to believe tafel would be in a rush to retire--if he was interested in easy money, he'd have sold the guy back after the juvie, when offers started pouring in.
as for curlin, smart strike isn't exactly a huge horse, so i don't know that there will be a lot of interest in curlin-just like there wasn't in medaglia d'oro. el prado does well, as does smart strike, but they aren't A-list...

i think the one to watch is hard spun-everyone is looking for a colt by danzig to step in where the sire left off. hard spun is a good prospect, danzig has several in the top of the sires list, but no BIG, classic horse on the racetrack lately...talking stateside here of course...

What do you mean Smart Strike isn't huge? I think he's had as much success as Street Cry in terms of average runner earnings, has he not?
