Nice story about Om and his connections with a recent photo of him.

This is funny. From Horse Racing Ireland:

We were really curious what #FathersDay  looks like @CoolmoreStud @Ballydoyle for big Daddy Galileo. So, we asked them nicely and they let us into the WhatsApp group ...

Weston won his debut in SA R3 (on the dirt) to become Hit It A Bomb’s first winner.

I'm glad that McKinzie will get a chance to shine as a stallion. I'm relieved he's going to gainesway where he will get a FAIR chance and not WinStar or spendthrift who will ship him out before his first crop races

My thoughts exactly. I was actually relieved when I saw Gainesway rather than Win$tar or $pendthrift.
Soylent green is....tasty!!!

Yes very sorry to hear this- not a fan of this farm and their practices at all. Hope we get to see him as a 4 yo but I doubt it.

Well, maybe he will. The sale was for the breeding rights - so doesn’t Sackatoga still get to decide how long he runs?

Someone said in the racing forum that they are not fan friendly. Between this and the fact that the stallions are treated as baby making machines....just not great news.

I would love HAP to stand at Claiborne...I adore Lane’s End, but they already have his sire and several other Indy line horses

His connections have already reported that he will race as a 4yo. They sold his breeding rights, Coolmore will have no say in his racing career.

They’ve talked about racing him as a 4yo for a while now. They want to enjoy the colt. They also haven’t ruled out racing him past 4, but it’s unlikely.

I am not a huge fan of Coolmore for various reasons, but my one experience going on a tour at Ashford was a good one.

I'm glad to hear that! I hope one day to get to KY and visit the farms. Sadly I waited too long to see Indy, but he's got lots of sons there, so.....

Yeah, I had a good experience at Ashford.

Re. breeding rights being sold: you had to know that it was either going to be Winstar, Coolmore, of Spendthrift. Personally, I think Coolmore is the lesser of three evils.
