Now, I am not saying either way, and his first out number is hard to argue with as far as 'cheating' (I think alot of that has to do with the family structure and the old man breaking all his horses) but something to think about it.

Still think he is a douche bag for running "his best horse ever and part of my family" for a 25k tag
Is that 2nd floor east end? If so, sounds like part of the Roger V. crew I remember from 5-10 yrs ago. Never saw people that embodied group misery with the depth and desperation of that bunch. For that alone, they have my admiration.

YES. I wonder if he sells the horse if she was a homebred. Block's foundation is as strong as anyone in this business. They have farms in Ocala where they break their babies and yearlings, which if I am not mistaken, is what he dad does. His runners are AS PREPARED as Pletchers and Asmussen's horses first that.
