He might be a terrible sire. Might shoot blanks. Just because he can run a little under the care of a magician doesn't equal shed success.

Of course not but that won't affect his initial stud fees. Cigar was sterile but he was sold to stud for $25 million.

But to say that there would be less interest in him for studbecause Distorted Humor was his grandsire and not his sire is beyond ridiculous.

You're really on a roll for your first day.

Just ignore me then. Please.

Does it really matter what his bloodlines are? If he wins the TC Reddam will get offered plenty of millions.

I want you guys to be right about continuing to run, but all it will take is some Smarty Jones "hoof bruising" as an excuse to retire him.

Short answer? Yes.

If he wins the TC he'll be the hottest sire on the market when he retires. What prospective buyer wouldn't want the sire of a horse they bought to be a Triple Crown winner?

I get that AP Indy, Distorted Humor, Giants Causeway have great results, but that won't matter if all of a sudden there's a triple crown sire.

I hate to let the facts get in the way of a good story.

So what you're saying is that the breeding world is psyched for I'll Have Another because his grandsire is Distorted Humor? Do you really believe that?
