No breeders cup or 4 year old season . It’s alarming how soon the race careeers end these days.

Obviously you're referring to GM on the no 4yo season thing. Poor Irish War Cry and what might've been but for the thumps. I wish he could've gotten a G1. What a tough break for the Wood to be a G2 when he won it.

I was talking about Good Magic, as Irish War Cry hadn’t yet been retired . I think someone edited the title.

There's enough really nice ones not quite good enough to beat the best ones that they will be sneaking off all fall. Same as every other year.

Hoppertunity was real race horse. Throwback to the days of real horses and real campagnes. ?Always like to watch him. Win of lose, he was on the track.
Sad to see this one go, but glad he is going out in good form.

I think Hopper should do good in PA. Based on his career, he should be able to sire any kind of horse. May not end up a sales sire, but PA is breed-to-race anyway. They had an open house for him this weekend. Guess he is pretty cold after spending years at Santa Anita.

Same old, same old. It seems more noticable but I've watched it for years. Keep breeding those horses that retire at 2 because they broke down at 2 and we notice it more and more.
