No offensive was meant Nick.. I am a fan of any decent horse these days.. There just arent many at all. I really dont get why more people dont try and get horses onto the grass in this country, if you have just a decent one you can earn a lot more money then dirt.. Take Icy Atlantic he made a lot of money for an absolutely average horse.

I was breaking your balls Freddy. I completely agree with you and am glad that they made the right decision economically because we get him for another year.

Cool Gio just ok? Who did he lose to in last 2 bc's?

Why the gio bashing. The horse is ultra consistent and has taken on the best. First and second in back to back years of arlington million. Won graded races on grass and synthetic. Oh by the way he's only lost to 2 super female horses called goldikova and zenyatta or would be a 2 time bc winner. I'd love to have his breeding rights I think he'd be a great stallion. Glad to see hes coming back and gonna be betting on him. Hes one of my favorite horses and got the chance to see him race in the million. Looking forward to seeing him there next year and winning it. Good luck Gio Ponti!

Cool

I look forward to betting on a good horse at good odds. A horse that is a proven winner. A horse that always gives it is all!

I don't know who decides what makes a great sire.
Most of them start with a higher freshman sire stud fee then they plummet, no?

Empire Maker to Japan
Victory Gallop to Turkey

I think it is great that people are more interested in racing than breeding
