he was a good horse but was stuck without a race to shoot for in the bc i think, which sucks in todays day and age. the sprint is too short and even though i always liked him, i get the feeling BOB didn't think he was as good around two turns or routing as some of his other horses. 25 years ago he would have been a good earner and appeared to be sound, but now a days without a pot of gold to shoot for at the end of the rainbow, he's worth more at stud being a grade 1 winner with good breeding and looks. he may turn out to be a really good sire i think.
