I think he is a pretty color and if I cover up his head/neck I think he looks good.  There is just something weird going on in his neck area.  It looks like his head/neck do not transition into his body well.  I think its high withers and/or low neck placement.

This worries me.  If they decide Aqueduct is to valuable to run horses on, what will stop them from tearing down Belmont too?

Belmont doesn't have an inner dirt track to winterize.  They would have to get rid of one of the turf courses.  Would they be willing to do that?

This article is really informative, talks about the decision to get rid of one of Aqueduct's turf courses in order to install the inner dirt course and the cost(in the 1980s) to install it.

There are a ton of horses with the name Fay in them.

I don't recall seeing these yet.  But with all the forum issues, I thought they deserved to be told RIP.

As for Declaration of War ... where did I hear he was Breeders' Cup bound? Maybe I dreamed it. Oh well.

He is racing in the Classic and will be retired afterward to Coolmore.

Accorded to HRI website yesterday, there are three Ballydoyle juveniles that are now listed 'dead':

Unraced:
Canary (Fastnet Rock x Leonia)

Unbeaten winner:
Illinois (Galileo x Chintz)

Unplaced runner:
Snow (Galileo x Secrete Marina)

Here are mine.  I probably watched the 1988 Derby but I don't know for sure.  I would have been 8.

1989      Easy Goer      (Sunday Silence)
1990      Summer Squall      (Unbridled)
1991      Fly So Free         (Strike the Gold)
1992      Arazi      (Lil E Tee)  I did want to pick A.P. Indy
1993      Rockamundo     (Sea Hero)
1994      Holy Bull     (Go For Gin)
1995      Timber Country      (Thunder Gulch)
1996      Unbridled's Song      (Grindstone)
1997      Pulpit         (Silver Charm)
1998      Cape Town/Old Trieste      (Real Quiet)
1999      Excellent Meeting/Three Ring      (Charismatic)
2000      Fusaichi Pegasus   (Fusaichi Pegasus)
2001      Point Given/Congaree      (Monarchos)
2002      Saarland      (War Emblem)
2003      Empire Maker      (Funny Cide)
2004      Smarty Jones      (Smarty Jones)
2005      Giacomo(longshot)      (Giacomo)
2006      Barbaro      (Barbaro)
2007      Hard Spun   (Street Sense)
2008      Pyro      (Big Brown)
2009      Friesan Fire   (Mine That Bird)
2010      Devil May Care/Lookin At Lucky     (Super Saver)
2011      Animal Kingdom   (Animal Kingdom) won $43.90 on a $2 bet
2012      Bodemeister   (I'll Have Another) would have hit the tri except I had Union Rags with I'll Have Another and Dullahan and Bode in my other trifecta
2013      Orb   (Orb)  only played him with others that didn't come in

I find it odd that they sent him to Taylor Made when Calumet is trying to get a stallion division going again.  Maybe after their failed attempt this year, they decided to stand him where he would get mares?  I believe only one of Calumet's stallions got more than 25 mares this year.

I only included the Breeders Cup races.
