who will retire first, and why?

[Danzig]

well, i am referrring to that....i just think of the three, hard spun will have the most commercial appeal, knowing the impact his sire and others in that line have had over the years on the breed, not just here but worldwide. hard spun is a better prospect racing wise than has been seen here the last few years from danzig, who hasn't had a big classic horse lately in the u.s.
everyone wants the new danzig to pick up where the old one left off--and the new danehill overseas, which is why holy roman emperor disappeared so quickly when george washington proven infertile (or sub-fertile, whatever).
