Breeders Cup at Santa Anita would be hard to pass up right?

Especially since at this point in the year, the older horses look incredibly slow compared to the 3yo's...

Reddam is a gambler, he fires in. I would think he would continue to run his horse to the end of the season, running as a 4yo might even be too risky for him though.

I'm trying to think of a relatively easy race they could run IHA in in California in late summer/early fall to get ready for the BC Classic.

The Pacific Classic fits perfectly on the schedule but it could be a tough race and it is on poly.

Bodemeister will probably be retired before IHA is.

This is a unique situation. The horse has an owner who has the deep pockets from a business that is high risk without the thugs to break people's arms and legs.


He could cut his nuts off for all we know.

I think being by Flower Alley will help keep him in training.

If he was by Distorted Humor himself. He might have more interests from the stud farms.

I took a look at Flower Alley's Stallion Register page yesterday for kicks, and aside from I'll Have Another, it's really not much.

I think he finishes out his 3 year campaign. After that it's a crapshoot, but for some reason I feel like Reddam would bring him back as a 4 year old.

Yeah I doubt that the stud farms would be interested in a triple crown winner with a Distorted Humor-Kris S. cross. Maybe they should just geld him and use him as Lava Man's backup.

As for not being impressed with Flower Alley's sire page, well I'm pretty impressed to see a 3 time Grade I winner and potential triple crown winner in only his second crop of foals.
