The fact that he survived that injury and has made it to actually be a breeding stallion is kind of amazing. Keep on being you, Player. <3
According to his Pedigree Query page; "Pulled up with fractured sesamoids in the New Orleans Handicap. Eventually returned home to the Bradleys' farm in Kentucky."

Yeah. There's videos on FB of him frolicking and actually pivoting off that leg. From a distance it actually isn't immediately noticeable.

He looks quite trim in his "yoga" photo. I would guess that they want to keep any excess weight off 'Player to avoid stressing that ankle more than necessary. So no overfed stud potbelly for him. ;)

Sahara Sky is a name I haven't heard in a while. How nice to see the Pleasant Tap/ Pleasant Colony sireline still hanging on.
