Has Giacomo been retired?

He should have stuck around and tried the turf....

I like Giacomo. Here's hoping that he is a smash hit at stud so that people will quit dissing the horse. He was always a very useful animal, and loved Churchill Downs.

I think he'll be a very useful stallion.

It will take a while to prove, but I think you're wrong.

why?

not being critical, Id just like an explanation.

I think best case scenario would be something like his sire.
thats useful.
maybe not very useful though.

I like anything to do with Holy Bull. Plus, my husband and I cleaned up with Giacomo in his Derby. He should breed to quick sprinter types. He has the stamina. Maybe his detractors will believe in him when he sires a few stakes winners. Stronach loves Holy Bull horses; maybe some talented girls will be breeding to Giacomo.

Personally, I love his conformation. I also love the fact that he's got higher leg action. I can see him being a versatile sire for both dirt and turf runners. He gets a lot of hate, but I like him a lot. I hope he proves all of his naysayers wrong.
