STEVERAPSTER - no I didn't see Amanda Casey kicked. I'm assuming that you did?

Appreciate the review of sires that are not that well known.

As per Amanda Casey and Karakorum Jete, did you actually see the horse do a 90 degree and then kick the rider as a horse behind her brushed the green filly.

Tiznowbaby - thanks, it has been changed. That's what happens when you do these things at 3 in the morning.

I believe you meant the stallion Pollard's Vision, not Pollard's Luck.

Don from Delaware - thanks for your comments. Yes, I guess they picked the right spot for Anchorage, as she had been scratched from several Belmont races.

There's definitely hope for Hard Call, she just needs to run straight!

It was a beautiful sunny fall day at DP Monday, I saw and bet on first maiden race..which Todd's horse, Anchorage #1 won, very focused and tapit ofcourse...I loved HardCall #5 and she is one to watch will love the distance just couldn't catch#1, the real dizzy spell of the race was Pleasant Fever #6...thought that was the winner before, but something must have happened she just ran about 1/4 race and never got involved...so much for my boxed trifecta and superfecta....thanks for the recap.

Tiznowbaby - the only Kitten that I know of in Europe is the filly Humor Me Rene (Kitten's Joy - Star of Humor by Distorted Humor). She's run 4 times in Ireland with one second and one third.

I loved Kitten's Joy, and I'm thrilled his offspring are performing so well. Are any of his get running in Europe?

As for the 2nd at Belmont today: GO POSH! She'll have at least one rabid fan cheering for her at the simulcast TVs at Tampa Bay Downs today!

shesfast - It's South Korea

I also am really sad that Peace Rules was sold to Korea. Was he sold to North Korea or South Korea? On a positive note I hope he can in some way live up to his name and bring peace to those countries.

I have always had a soft spot for him, and I always thought that he would do well as a sire if the right mares were presented to him.

I didn't really see him race much, but after checking him out, I definitely would have booked a mare to him as I feel that I could have made my money back if I kept the foal and raced it.

Its not about his success as a sire that is disturbing its what may happen to him after that seems to be AnneM's point.

Koreans, like many Asians eat dogs,cats,rats, and horses. So who knows what any of these stallions fates are when they are deemed useless.

I've been to Asia many times. These are not stereotypes, they are real observations. You couldnt give me enough money to send a horse over there for stud duties......

AnneM - yes, Peace Rules is scheduled to stand in Korea in 2010 (see above under news and notes). But, I think it's rather unfair to assume that he will meet an unhappy fate. After all, that could just as easily happen if he remained in this country.

The KRA has been upgrading their breeding stock in recent years, and he will receive many opportunities in that country to be a successful sire. Among others standing at KRA's Jeju Stud Farm are: Commendable, Exploit, Menifee, Vicar, and Volponi.
