that farm is particularly notorious for having stallions who suddenly cant breed to their liking anymore come down with various 'infirmaties'.

They should have just sent him to Old Friends or something like that.

I was too young to remember Woodman racing (or I wasn't born probably..). I recognize him mostly for siring Hansel, who was one my favorite horses when I was a little kid.
