Ack, I love this horse so much. I didn't realize he was such a stocky/chunky fella -- he doesn't have a conformation shot up anywhere, which is odd, but he's quite thick through the neck. A little monster! I love it.

I fell in love with him after his Preakness, and then was at CD when he toughed out the Churchill Downs against Amazombie. That sealed the deal. :D
Not a wholesome trottin' race, no, but a race where they sit down right on the horse!
Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy sittin' on Dan Patch? Make your blood boil? Well, I should say!

You are seeing more and more stud farms ride their stallions. As long as they enjoy it- which he seems to be.
