Now this I really am surprised by; Empire Maker to Japan

[Seattleallstar]

Don't know why they shipped him off to Japan, I can only imagine alot of money was invovled and maybe to give Empire Maker a chance in Japan. He did stand at 50k a pop. He also had Battle Plan this year who looked to be a HOY candidate until he got hurt.

Keep an eye out on Evasion who is out of Inside Information

EM was an ok/good sire, but nothing close to what he was expected...............that said, he was good enough not to be sent to Japan. Pretty shocking.
