No, I'm not making it up.

According to an article in the Blood Horse today, he's been retired to stud and will commence his new career in 2009.

I'm not very often stumped for something to say...

The breeders Hartley/De Renzo have bought back into the horse and will partner with John Magnier.

Appears the stud fee will be around $5,000. They are expecting the horse to cover 125 to 150 mares in 2009.

If the horse is sucessful at stud he will move to Coolmore/Ashford.

You couldn't make it up, could you?

 

[imagine]

It's not April 1st is it?!

 

[Zozzy]

The world has officially gone totally bonkers

 

[Rayeburn]

Maybe they're hoping the class will skip a generation or something...

anyhow, he is pretty...

(I'm clutching at straws aren't I).

 

[Melendez]

It's not exactly skipping a generation as he was bought at a breeze up sales and obviously showed he had talent. Equally obviously he went very wrong thereafter. I'd pay $5000 for him as a gamble rather than paying $5000 for something that was proven to be limited (not that I'd pay anything for anything in reality, you understand).

 

[Rayeburn]

I stand corrected.
