I'm worried for the hall of champions, they haven't had a new horse entire the ranks in a while. Hopefully they get a thoroughbred to join the ranks again

Japan acquires another good racemare for its breeding programs. They don't just raid US bloodstock.

What chance do you think he has at landing a stud deal? Army Mule offspring haven't been too popular at sales despite Army Mule himself being popular among breeders(he got 199 mares this year). Army Mule has been average 25k to 30k at this year's sales

I love Songline so much. She’s the first Japanese horse I follow closely :) look forward to her broodmare career!

Is winning the Kentucky Derby worth all the stress and wear & tear needed to get to that Demolition Derby gate? How many recent Derby winners end up having little-to-no decent race record after their big win? IMHO, what the 3yos have to go through for that one big win often destroys their careers afterward. :(
