I suppose Forestry didn't have a bad year last year with Shackleford winning the Preakness and all.

Had DC been retired at age 3 - as an undefeated phenom - with Bernardini - I bet he would have got supported a lot better.

Sheik Mohammed went on his most insane buying spree, and bought Street Sense, Hard Spun, and Any Given Saturday the folllowing year ... and while none of those horses could warm-up Discreet Cat on the race track, they all retired without seeing their form completely fall apart... and all retired at the same exact time.
