yes he did earn his trip to Shadwell to join Invasor among others. He was sound and the trainer wanted to retire him after his second Baruck win but then "one more" against Big Brown. Then one more at Keenland. Then one more in the BC where he was 4th early for some insane reason. Then one more. A dam shame. He was the barn favorite. Vibrant personality and he really loved to run and train. Very very sad. Sometimes I just hate this game so much. Well, pretty often actually. I wondered if folks would mention him here. Glad to see he had some fans. Glad I found this.
