It's called a "senior moment", So lol yourselves. They've already stated that although Zen went to Lane's End...it doesn't mean they'll choose a Lane's End stallion...but with AP Indy there..??? Both Indy and Bernardini, along with Mineshaft have A++ ratings. I still think Point Given is due to have a champion at some point. His runs in the Preakness and Belmont blew me away, and I remain in awe of his abilities.

I would love to see War Chant and Zenyatta bred to see what the inbreeding of Kris S would produce.

Thankyou, for the interesting commentary on these wonderful stallions, it's great to hear about these retired favorites of racing.

I agree with a Z and D mating but I am thinking that she will be bred to a Lanes End Stallion since that is where they sent her. A.P.Indy?

Lena,

Good idea. Maybe I'll do a future blog with pics of new sires' offspring.

I was hoping there would be more information about Big Brown and his fouls. Pictures would be nice.

To Slew/Jon...Yes, Seattle Slew stood there for 17 years before he was moved to live at Hill N' Dale Farm where he was buried on the gravesite. I saw him there in August 1997...Thanked for sharing some stories of these stallions how they were doing...Sorry, about Smarty Jones left...I was disappointed to see him that he was not lived at Three Chimney Farm because I wanted to come and visit him and other ones next year, Darn it! GOD bless this farm, people, and great horses...:)

Apparently SLEW didn't know where he was..LOL

I ran True Nicks and Exchange Rate got an A+..but where is he? Red Giant was A+ too. I love Sky Mesa and he and Lewis Michael both got an A with Zenny:)

I personally would like to see her with Eskendereya..I love that horse (talk about fully loaded pedigree!) and he gets an A++ rating!

Three Chimneys really is represented by the best group of stallions.My favorite will always be Big Daddy D and as cranky as he is I hope he is told how much we all love his offspring!!Merry Christmas Dynaformer!

Annette - you echo my sentiments exactly. Dynaformer x Zenyatta - ohhhhhhhhhhhhh the thought of it ... wish they would pair that duo up before Dynaformer is pensioned!!!

It is my understanding that Point Given absolutely, positively refuses to be ridden any more. When he retired, he was serious......no one else will get on my back anymore. It has nothing to do with his injury. As a matter of fact, it is believed that he could have raced as a 4 yo, that's how minor his injury was.

Slew — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 14:10:53 GMT

I've got to say, with so many stallions I admire, Point Given is one of my favorites. (HOF with connections to another favorite, Alydar) And then, Lewis Michael, with my son's name backwards, is special just for that....and War Chant and all of them. Didn't Seattle Slew stand at Three Chimneys?

I was wondering if anyone knows why they do not ride Point Given. I know that he was retired because of an injury (think it was to a rear ankle), and also that he had a tendency to rear. Are either, or both, the reason?

Thanks...

Thank you for sharing! I am keeping my fingers crossed,that there are some Dynaformer-Zenyatta babies in the near future. Dynaformer has been a favorite of mine for a long time. I've read somewhere that Dynaformer does not take maidens (?). Might there be an exception in the case for Zenyatta? (fingers crossed) I would really like to see a foal from them before Dynaformer gets pensioned. :)
