Gotta replace early voting

Or classic empire and looking at lucky. I just hope they don't break Gunite like they broke Early Voting

I still don't get shipping off Classic Empire, especially to SK as has been reported

He still bred 118 mares at $15,000 a pop this season. He's #40 overall and operating at 7.4% BTH to runners/4.1% BTWs to runners. It's not INCREDIBLE by any means, but South Korea? They really couldn't find a regional market for him?

Horse will go to the highest bidder and/or buyer with the most agreeable contract. Sometimes, that's South Korea.

Though I am also surprised at his exportation.

I'm aware that it's a money game, that doesn't change my opinion that he deserved a Kentucky or a regional position far more than some of the horses we'll see remain in Kentucky. Oh well. Hope SK does him well.

[BaroqueAgain1]

Oh well. Hope SK does him well.

How will we know how he does?

Yeah its nowhere near as bad as, say, Saudi Arabia. KRA's website is pretty good. You don't get the same plethora of photographs as you would with Japan or Turkey but the data is there. https://race.kra.co.kr/globalEn/main.do

Per Spendthrift's TikTok account, Forte's book was full within a day.

Finally. I am not surprised or upset that bringing him back to training didnt pan out.

Yeah, and notice that they're not saying how many mares that book is!
I swear.....if Spendthrift and Coolmore could breed their stallions to 700 mares a year, they absolutely would! (Exaggeration, of course. But I honestly believe they would if it was biologically and physically possible!)

Stewardship? What's That?!!
