In todays racing greatness in a racehorse can not be because of the lure of the breeding shed. The only way we will ever see a truely proven great horse is if one has the g after his name in the program.

you only changed one of the breadings to breedings man!

RISE to the occasion dude!

Invasor would have been a truly great racehorse this year as a 5 year old, if he would not have gotten hurt. Ghostzapper was brought back after winning the classic. Medaglia d'Oro and Pleasantly Perfect were brought back after finishing 1-2 in the Classic. There are some examples of "sporting" owners still out there...they are just too few and far between.
