Nah, I didn't hate Vindy. I just thought there was a whole lot more hype to him than substance.

Well, he was sired by Seattle Slew, so perhaps he suffered from wobbler syndrome.

Ha. Good one!

I did see IC at Vinery in 2000 though, when he was a five year old.

He was pretty much the only stallion left at the farm, as most of the others had gone south for the winter breeding season. When I asked why he didn't ship, they let me see him and he looked like he was a dying horse. They weren't too sure he was going to survive.

I doubt Slew becoming a wobbler in his old age had an effect on Vindication, but who knows, maybe you are right!

He probably really was one of the all time great 2yos.
