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.

Cmon man.

I'm sure Michael Tabor is spending many breathless minutes wondering about how Giant's Causeway will possibly succeed once I'll Have Another hits the breeding shed. Similarly, I'm sure the folks at Winstar are making emergency preparations with Distorted Humor (not to mention Tiznow, Speighstown, etc.) for the inevitability of I'll Have Another taking over the market. (Winstar is probably thinking about shipping Drosselmeyer to boost the Ohio-bred program, though that is probably independent of the whole I'll Have Another thing.)

AP Indy has been pensioned, so there's that.
