Cajun, If anyone spent one afternoon with Joel at the race track they would be more knowlegdeable about the horse racing industry without a doubt.

Is it true that he can also cure wounds by clanging his hands together and then rubbing them like Mr. Miyagi does in The Karate Kid?
Please, tell us more of his greatness. It is soooooooooo interesting.

No motivation what so ever, just the fact that he was the one that brought Scat Daddy to everyone before his debut at Belmont. He mentioned before his debut that he would be a BC Juvenile prospect and got blasted for it.

What were the odds on him in that debut?

Mira, I usually do not chime in, but I have to give credit to Joel for introducing Scat Daddy to the DT members before his debut. Joel actually saw him workout at Churchilll prior to his initial start.

The entire world around the racetrack knew about Scat Daddy before his debut.

He was 3:5 for God's sake.

There were crappy odds in his maiden because of the four horse field and the Pletcher angle. Add that to the "backstretch chatter" and you get 3/5. Horse showed some resilience coming back to win some grade 1's as a 3 yr old after getting pounced in the Juvy.

I'm glad I got to see him win at least one of his starts in person.

I only say this because I got stiffed time and time again betting against SD. Every time I planned on a regression, he came back and duplicated his previous race. Nothing special, no real forward move from race to race, just enough to get the job done.

Well said, I was fortunate enough to be on the other side of the coin.

but as for scat daddys stud fee, i'd think 25k. friends lake won the fla derby, and is currently 15k. of course sd won more than just that race, so he'd be more--but i don't know he'd be as high as first samurai, going by both of their sires....

but then, stonewall would probably start him at 60--so who knows?

A note on the timing of Scat Daddy's retirement given that a 90 day lay-up would have been in order to bring him back... On the show last night, Scatuorchio said that he'll be shuttling to Australia as part of his stud career... And their breeding season is of course close at hand...

he probably won't go this season as those horses will enter quarantine very soon if they haven't already....and if he has an injury they are not likely to fly him halfway around the world to do what is actually a demanding job before he gets a clean bill of health.
