The stretch duel between Latent Heat and Cindago when he broke his maiden was the possibly the best race of the whole SA w/s meet imo. And he absolutely crushed Da Stoops, Bob and John, and Bro Derek in the El Cajon at Del Mar this summer.
If you saw the horse run i doubt there would be any laughter in regards to his talent....just frustration at what could have been and a 3 race career.
RP says he was his favorite at the Barretts March 2005 and when you look at the names that came from that sale..... thats a strong statement.

just like not all mares should be broodmares not all colts should be studs...if he couldn't stay sound ( I can forgive sore shins or an abscess, but not a true unsoundness) then he shouldn't be breeding...but I don't know what his problems were or were not...
And why should every horse that looks like he had potential get a stud deal? Horses that prove they have talent should go to the shed...but not until after they have had an actual career... not 5 starts and out
