Jump Start has 8 lines of Barcaldine thru 10 gens. He had cannon bone fracture ending career.

The difference being that Sir Greeley raced thru age 6 and started nearly 30 times, while Jump Start made just 5 career starts, all at 2.

Well, I guess he's not going to prove to be the best from his crop as I had predicted before the 2007 Derby.

No one tell Andy.

Don't worry, I won't tell him.
I don't even want to consider what it might do to his fragile mental health if he began to think - even for one second - that he could no longer count on your predictions.

Not sure how old this news is but gotta list my Derby boy from another year,

The one, the only, Deputy Glitters (applause! ).

Happy retirement, Sparkles. It was nothing but fun losing $ on you.
