Oh I remember that too! That was the last Bluegrass Stakes run on the old "rail-bias" real dirt track at Keeneland in 2006. He won by some ridiculous number of lengths and earned an equally ridiculous BSF. The next 8 runnings were the synthetic years where the winners became so marginalized that the race lost its GI status. I kind of expect that to be restored pretty soon now, with the return to natural dirt.

Its really impressive because he died after only siring 3 crops and 198 foals. I knew he was in Kentucky but I forgot he stood at Jonabell/Darley.tachyon wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 8:07 amI do remember his Bluegrass, too.Missbeholder wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 10:27 pmOh I remember that too!

Both his sire Old Trieste and himself were ''super explosive'' when they brought their A-game, weren't they?
I know that Old Trieste was very popular among some of the A.P. Indy fans in Japan.
But it seemed like both lacked in the consistency.
Who could imagine that Old Trieste would become one of the key branches for the A.P. Indy sire-line via Sinister Minister?
Sinister Minister's AEI/CI is quite respectable, too.
Died December 2, 2021 just one month shy of his 32 birthday at Bar None Ranches in Alberta.
When he was good, OT was fantastic...I was crushed that he died so young. What a gorgeous horse he was..I’m so glad SM is doing well.Flanders wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 8:37 amIts really impressive because he died after only siring 3 crops and 198 foals.

He’s very racy looking right now, got some filling out to do. But, he does look good. They seem quite proud of him.
Its real hard to read this article without laughing but what I got from their constant spinning to make him sound like he is a must breed to, he is too fast to not go to stud right now. His beyer speed numbers were just too high to not send him to the breeding shed immediately. In reality, I assume he got injured.
I mean, it says he was injured, but that was so vague....it could have easily been a minor injury that didn’t necessitate missing many months. I don’t know why the rush to retire him unless it was a serious injury, and if it was, that would mean he wasn’t sound. I expect he’ll be extremely popular...Flanders wrote: ↑Wed Dec 08, 2021 12:32 pmIts real hard to read this article without laughing but what I got from their constant spinning to make him sound like he is a must breed to, he is too fast to not go to stud right now.
