Even in a down market.<br /><br />If Pegram and his parntners, who enjoy the game as much as anyone, even the travel to obscure tracks, can not resist the lure of a payday, even with all the decent older horses retiring, there is no shot we will ever see another good horse run long enough to develop into an iconic turf hero.<br /><br />Except of course if a gelding could hold his form after winning the Derby, as the the also retired, with a lot less fanfare but much better record, Mine That Bird could not accomplish. And Funny Cide for that matter.<br /><br />Not going to happen, so the powers that be need to figure out another way to market this sport.Figlessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-73542434612416850132010-11-19T16:27:33.501-05:002010-11-19T16:27:33.501-05:00Lookin at Lucky retired.

Secretariat had the huge heart as well and he was only so-so as a sire.<br /><br />Watch Rogue Romance next year. Smarty's best yet.onecalicocatnoreply@blogger.com
