I don't think the Turks are going to just send Big Vic back if his son wins the derby. I'll be pulling for Anak Nakal as well if he makes it to Churchill.

Start mixing in some Hummus and Babaganoush (both with extra garlic) into Victory Gallop's oats.

That steed will soon be more potent than imaginable.

He will probably enjoy the Turkish mares,and their mating process is much simpler there.They will submit to him.

Doug Cauthen (WinStar manager) said that VG was a solid stallion but didn't sire yearlings that could make $100K at the sales. He had become a <gasp> breed to race sire, not a breed to sell one. So when the Turkish offer came around, the syndicate snapped it up.

Almost makes Anak Nakal a lock in the KY Derby. It seems everytime a stallion is exported, he suddenly jumps up with a big horse.

He sired Victory U. S. A. - who sold for over 500K at the sales and was his best horse.

She had her soundness issues.

The reason why his horses don't sell well is because they most often can't run for crap.

I'm just glad they didn't try to get my boy Lit de Justice.He is doing well now as a breed to race sire.There is no end to the groups of people and things that they would like to have "LIT DE" in front of.

Just so V Gallop knows,the level of English spoken in Turkey is not good.It's very broken,and broken in an unusual way.They do have very favored English words in Turkey.They have an intense affection for 2 English words:





1)fck

2)you
