Interesting pedigree- almost free of inbreeding (some Mr. P on the top), but Blushing Groom and Groovy on the bottom

Yes, a bit light on pedigree on the mare side, but he should match up with most all mares in NY. He is quite the looker, very correct, and of course a stunning grey like his sire. Pictures are being taken today on the farm, soon to be released!

Would you turn out a just retired very valuable race horse into acres of pasture? Just looking for disaster! You have to start out small and for short periods of time in order for them to get use to the grass and freedom.

Hope he does well in NY- if he is close enough- I may have to go visit him. Kinda thought that he might remain in Australia- but like him in NY better

I didn't realize they only have 2 stallions, counting Mr. Sidney. I remember them having close to 20 stallions.

Always liked Thunder Gulch. Had a hard time rooting against him in the '95 JCGC - Wanted to see him keep that little streak going, but my heart was with Cigar.

Happy 2nd retirement, old boy...

Looks like Harlington is on his way to Saudi Arabia- was bought for $90k for Saudi interests(probably)- same person bought 2 other stallions for the interests- and it would seem to make sense that he is on the same plane.
