This game is so a$$ backwards. We don't breed to race, we race to breed.

You are SO right. What makes me laugh is his idea that if the horse doesn't win, he retires. Logically, if the horse doesn't win, he would need to race some more to improve his credentials for stud and his eventual fee. It's not like Harlan's Holiday over Tricky Creek is the height of fashion and would command top fees.

I'm sorry, I don't care if the horse won a GI as a 2YO, I just couldn't figure out a way to justify retiring the horse when there will surely be other sons of Harlan's Holiday out there to hit the shed in the near future who will have exceptionally superior credentials than does Into Mischief.

HH has already surpassed what I expected from him as a sire.
Harlan isnt exactly a sire of sires. Menifee has just been ok.

It was just posted in bloodhorse.com that the Malibu will be his final start, and both he and Tiz Wonderful will stand for 12,500 next year at Spendthrift.
