I believe he is standing stud at Ashford Stud in Kentucky.

I don't think Dunkirk ever ran again after the Belmont, no?

Wise Guy horses win about as much as tip horses. When I was a kid a friend of our family was the doctor at Suffolk Downs and he eventually had to quit because he was betting too many of the can't lose horses that the jocks and trainers were giving him.

For me it was 2007 Circular Quay. Leading up to the big day it was probably my first Derby Trail argument I had with Hossy. LOL. And.....He was right.

Thanks. I also got un-lazy and looked it up after I posted. The sad thing about my memory....I bet the crap out of him in the Belmont.....

For some reason I got him confused with Danger to Society, who didn't even run in the Derby. His name just stuck in my head. I wasn't the only one who noticed the downward spiral, though......
