Great article - thanks for posting it. The old boy sure looks good for his age. If only they could all have such grand retirements...

I am trying to find where the article on him was, but I saw something this year about him in some publication. I thought it was Bloodhorse because we almost drove down to see him around Preakness time, but did not. Have to make another trip this year to see him.
Paulick Report not Bloodhorse...
