She won a bogus synthetic Grade 1. Surely you aren't hanging your hat on her brilliant race record.

What am I hanging my hat on? I never said that Flower Alley was the next coming of Nasrullah. I responded to a ridiculous post which tried to say that being out of Flower Alley would keep a triple crown winner in training since there would be a lack of interest from the stud farms.

I realize you will probably be erasing this post soon too, but this is not what the other poster said.

Once again, your example of his great success at stud was a poor one.

Just trying to keep the discussion on target.

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

Also where did I use the word great? I wrote that I was impressed with his two foal crops, one of which includes a potential triple crown winner.

Birdstone's second crop had the Derby and Belmont winners in it. Someone remind me what his stud fee is today?

Honestly, this Grey Lag fellow is using terms like "out of" Flower Alley, and purprtedly thinks there isn't a difference in the breeding world between a horse by Distorted Humor and a horse by a son of Distorted Humor. I think we are all being put over.

What was Elusive Quality's fee before the Smarty Jones TC run? How much did it go up after?

So most of you seriously think I'll Have Another will stay in training through the BC?

Absolutely, barring a legitimate injury. I highly doubt there will be a strained tail hair retirement on this one.

If one horse makes up for two horrible foal crops, then I guess you are right.

I would venture to say that he was given plenty of good mares to breed to, being he was a Travers winning son of Distorted Humor.

Am I the only one who thinks I don't care what they do with him if he wins the Triple Crown?

I don't really care what you think they will do with him either.

Not to mention his connections weren't exactly impoverished.

Based on the Stallion Register's numbers, Flower Alley has received better quality mares to date than his foals have produced.

There is no doubt.

One good horse doesn't do a lot for a Sire.
I don't think breeders were lining up to breed to Concorde's Tune this Winter because he got a BC winner last year. (Musical Romance)
