When did Wanderin Boy start? I know he had a lot of setbacks but they may have come after a few starts early. He may not be a champ but he's far better than an empty stall..

Alumni Hall - he didn't run very well in his last few races, but considering that he made his debut so late, he had a very nice career. I'm frankly surprised that he's standing at Lane's End, as they already have his sire and two of his sons (Mingun and Stephen Got Even). I would think he'd be more of a regional sire; I love Indy, but I don't think AH will make in KY>

They also stand Mineshaft! I think Alumni Hall would be better-placed at their Texas or Maryland annex.

Sorry, your right - it was his first stake win

Can any of you fine race historians tell me how old Kona Gold was when he first started. I know Bruce Headly has had alot of his horses start late, and last along time.

Alydar was 10 years dead when Alumni Hall raced. AH is by AP Indy.
