The credit he gets needs to go up, the price tag down, but that might not happen if demand was decent and he's got horses like Curlin doing well.

The funny thing is I'm more a fan of Street Cry as a stallion than I had been of him while he was racing. I think it was because there must've been some horse I liked and I felt threatened by him, I dunno. A little projection going on. Obviously he's very classy as he's proven. I hate it when being petty about something makes me resent a horse I have no reason to do anything other than enjoy.

Smart Strike sires lots of crooked legs which makes him a little scary but he is an excellent sire.
