June 19, 2016, 06:40:54 PM
Untapable has been retired after her lackluster 4th in yesterday's Fleur de Lis.

I wonder if it's possible for Tapit's fee to go even higher.
He sired the winner Creator and third-place Lani in the Belmont. Before that, Tapit sons Frosted and Anchor Down went 1-2 in the Met Mile.
I can't wait to see the new ads from Gainesway.
Sure.  His foals race and sell extremely well.  Winchell uses quite a few of the breedings for their own broodmares.  They lowered his book of mares this year and I think have no intentions of increasing it.  If he jumped up to $500,000 next year, it would be warranted and breeders would pay it.  We aren't halfway done with the year and he has over $10 million in progeny earnings for 2016.

Creator and Gettysburg will be getting a break at WinStar.  WinStar tried to move Gettysburg back to Todd Pletcher but he refused to take him back.

And now the big thing in the comment section on Bloodhorse is that WinStar essentially cheated because they used Gettysburg as a rabbit.

I thought he was being pulled up the way he slowed in the stretch.  He practically walked across the finish line.

I asked about him on Facebook the other day.  I was told they'd been working him on a foot bruise.  Don't be surprised when they ruin him.

Forever Unbridled got stuck on the rail, I think she would have won easily otherwise.

Nothing after 2013- but there is a foal/no foal report for 2016 fwiw. She's a 98 model.
She has a 2016 Fed Biz colt.

OH my
any details??
I don't think there has been any formal release.  Probably seen while looking for 2016 foals?

Japanese dirt specialist Kane Hekili (Fuji Kiseki - Life Out There, by Deputy Minister) died while covering a mare on May 27th.  Paca Paca Farm shared this:  https://www.facebook.com/PacaPacaFarm/videos/852601364851632/

Astrology is going well for an A. P. Indy stallion.  I usually expect their foals to do better as they get older but with 4/6 winners/starters he is looking good and a bargain.

they could have cross entered her, which appears to be the case. sorry i asked.
Nothing I said was mean, I just tried to answer your question.  As curtis said, they must have entered in the Vanity hoping for a scratch.  So it looks like they are indeed going for the Triple Bend in 3 weeks.

Top Billing was just pulled up in the Mountainview at Penn National.
