I don’t love old guys moving, but I live close to Adena North and not close to Old Friends, so I am very pleased with this decision.

I haven't seen anything in him being pensioned, but I'm glad he earned it.

Some nice new recruits to the French game. It’s a shame Centurion moved all their horses from Christopher Head this year, who knows how much more success Big Rock couldve had.

Bright Future doesn't seem like a very "Claiborne-y" choice but he does have a nice extended family.

Do we know why he didn't race at two? Injury, illness, or just a late developer?

I remember when I was at Hill n Dale, they said he had a full book of mares signed on for his debut season, but as soon as the Servis stuff came out, almost all of them cancelled. Poor dude never stood a chance.
