At least he was sound enough to compete at 4 and ran a few fast races in his career.He might be a good stallion prospect

Heres to the East/West Coast bias BS. I love CJ ,followed him on the derby trail, put him in alot of my numbers on derby day and finally struck it rich with him in the Travers.
And if your looking for a feel good story it isnt a mare beating the boys up on her home track it is the meaning behind this horses name and how they dedicated the Travers to the real John before the horse even won. And it sure looked like the horse put his nose down on the wire for him.
Heres to a long retirement!

The important thing is that I will never lose another dollar on him as I can't seem to help myself where he was concerned.

For this millenium he has done enough.

I would have loved to see him run on the turf a few more races....I think he could have made a big impact there.
