UBS blood should really be banned from the breed. Now they'll ship this bum off to South Korea or Venezuela or somewhere to pollute another horse population.

Randall said it, "it's a disgrace".

Could someone please explain this? I looked at the Fasig Tipton catalogue for Saratoga for today and tomorrow. There are 7 UBS yearlings in the sale. I also looked at the sales results from the July 13 and 14 sale in Kentucky. Two of the three UBS yearlings sold. One sold for $160,000 and the other sold for $225,000.

I don't get it. Who in their right mind would pay that kind of money for those two horses? Why is there still a demand for UBS babies? Clearly if there is a demand they will still breed him and that's a really big shame.

You only notice all the UBS horses that get hurt because he sires A LOT of very decent or better horses with very good speed.

Unbridled Danger is by UBS - and he's made 85 starts in his career - 16 so far this year and 24 last year.

He's tough as nails.

People only notice the huge list of unsound UBS's because he actually sires a lot of noticeable horses.
