Evening Attire

here ya go. Its amazing to look back and see the names of horses he ran against. For example the horses that ran second to him in his first stakes races were Street Cry and BaltoStar!

He's only had a brisnet figure under 90 twice since 2001, pretty amazing.

He was 65-1 in the '01 Discovery?!? I didn't remember that!

Street Cry has sons that are retired!

also, look at the effect blinkers had.

I saw it as going two turns for the first time, which obviously is his game, but the blinkers surely helped as well.
Another interesting note is he finished only 7 lengths back at 6F against the future champion sprinter Orientate in '01, which again is obviously not his preferred distance.

I just find it fantastic to see him happy and trying hard going on 10. We need more geldings like him!

I love it that from 14 wins, all on the dirt, his average win distance is 9.21 furlongs. Don't see that too often.

Hell, we need more stallions like him!
