Elliott Walden‏ @WinStarCEO
For all u @BelmontStakes fans, see last years winner CREATOR owned by @TomRyanKY @bflay @WinStarFarm today in Japan. Looks awesome!

He looks great. I wonder how many mares he has covered this year. The usual trend for non Shadai imports is big numbers, big numbers, then if they dont make it by then, a sharp drop in mares covered.

Yonaguska died of a heart attack last Thursday, per the Turkish Jockey Club website. He was 19.
Here is a photo of him from this spring.

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT: Mastery has arrived at Claiborne Farm!

Nicole Russo‏ @DRFRusso 6h 6 hours ago

Unbeaten G1W Mastery has arrived at Claiborne, which inked a deal to stand him in March. He was injured winning this year's G2 San Felipe.

But then there's this...

Joe Nevills‏ @DRFNevills 5h 5 hours ago

Mastery arrived at @claibornefarm today, but bloodstock manager Bernie Sams said he is NOT officially retired. Quote from Sams...

BaroqueAgain1 · Mon Jun 12, 2017 7:20 pm

They're holding out a little hope that the brilliant colt might make it back to race. I hope he can, because this three-year-old crop could use some pizazz.

Goodbye to champion, handsome HANSEL, who died today at age 29 at Lazy Lane Farm in VA (photo 2016).

Condolences to all who loved him...

Always thought of Hansel as a damned fine looking horse! Rest in peace. So glad he had a good, long life.

After 6 seasons at Coolmore and not too many nice progeny, 5 time G1 winner, 3 timw Royal Ascot winner, and 'The best horse' Richard Hannon snr has ever trained, Canford Cliffs has been sold to Highlands Stud in South Africa

https://www.racingpost.com/bloodstock/b ... d%20Cliffs

I get that it is a business and if they sold Henrythenavigator and Duke of Marmalade they dont have any sentimental attachment, and that CC hasnt exactly set the world on fire... but geeze, he was one great racehorse. Money talks but I am surprised no other smaller stud in Europe took him on

Guess it depends how much they were asking for vs how much people were willing to pay.
