Kew Gardens looks like he has a huge shoulder, but he's overall very pleasing to the eye.

He's definitely a Galileo.

Armor (No Nay Never x Hestia, by High Chaparral) who retired at 2 because Mehmas did.

He's quite handsome, and could get even more so when his neck fills out.

He's definitely cut from the same cloth as No Nay Never. Nice. Retiring 2yos to stud is not a promising precedent to set, though.

Yeah, he's nice looking but man, I'm cringing at retiring a 2 year old to stud.

I may have heard of such a thing before. Not a distinguished horse, can't recall the name, but they also sent him back to the track at three.

Its happening in Europe nearly ever year the past 5+ years, a perfectly sound 2yo is raced alot wins a G2/G3 Stakes and then is retired to stud. Since they had success with Mehmas, I think its going to happen more.

I think Pinatubo was well-received anyway, but the reception would've been rapturous if he'd retired at 2. He didn't look quite so impressive after he didn't really train on at 3.

Cupid is doing fairly well at $5000 so $10,000 for Tacitus isn't unreasonable--Tacitus had a longer career, but Cupid had more speed.
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

If he's out of a GSW Galileo mare, how about showing her some respect and NAMING her? :roll:
