I live in Pulaski County in Kentucky, which is the Lake Cumberland region. My friend's and I often go, usually about 5 or 6 times a year, and camp and hike at Red River Gorge which is Powell, Menifee, and Wolf Countie's all right there together. I love Chimney Rock at the gorge. It's a beautiful, tranquil place. We always end our trip on the last night by going out of the gorge down to the "Silver Dollar Saloon" at the bottom of the hill. Last time we were there, it was 4th of July weekend and they were having a big pig roast and live band. There's some "suspect pictures" of my buddies and I on their wall.

Funny thing about the Blog Stable. Here we've gone from a nice story about a promising 2YO to bricks and beer in 10 comments! Another blog has gone from handicapping the Belmont Stakes to dog breeds. I like this little blog and hope we can keep it going.

I saw St. Liam at Lane's End in May 2006, a few months before he lost his life so tragically in that freak accident at the farm.

The name stamped on the bricks from the pathway at my college was spelled "Chilhowie". My friend and fellow alum tells me that there was a large brick factory in Chihowie, Virginia, and that's where the bricks were made. I'm off to the bookstore today to check the new Daniel Boone biography index to see if there's mention of Chilhowee or Chilhowie.

I wish I had a stash of those Chilhowie bricks from campus. I could make a fortune on eBay from sales to alums. Funny, we took those bricks for granted 40 years ago.

So nice to see a story on one of St Liam's few babies, let's hope for a bright future to carry on dad's name!

The history lesson and all this stuff is interesting, but for some of us there is only on Sheltowee -- the oustanding beer brewed by the Bluegrass Brewing Company of Louisville (beeradvocate.com/.../40028)

In fact, I highly recommend it after a day of climbing (not that I've ever done that) or lounging by the pool.

If you read the Blood Horse this horse you speak of is mentioned in the staks synopsis for Giant Oaks win in the Arlington Classic. The manager of Indian Creek farm where Apple Martini is kept owns a farm and its name is Sheltowee Farm in Paris. Thats what the horse is named after.

Soldier: I looked up the town on Wikipedia and it is near the Cumberland gap, so I would think it very well could be involved with Daniel Boone. I did not find its translation though. Here are some more links and I am glad you enjoyed the video

Greg J: I hope he is fun to watch and develops a good 2YO base for a descent 3YO campaign. We will see, but he was a good story.

Nice article, and thanks. Refreshing, especially after reading all of the comments about vanning off Draynay from Jason Shandler's blog.

I went to college in Virginia. We had a walkway across campus, paved with old bricks stamped "Chilhowee". Could Chilhowee also be part of the Daniel Boone Trails, like Sheltowee? Given same area (Appalacia) and spelling similarity, I thought I'd ask. Have you read the recent new biography about Daniel Boone?
