Wow, that was great. Lead the whole way despite a less than perfect start.

Everybody's saying this but I'm not sure I agree. I mean, he broke clean enough, separated from the pack, and went to the front on the rail. That's pretty much exactly the game plan sooooo.

The Thoroughbred industry doesn't really do artificial insemination, so the former yes. Starting next year anyway, hopefully we'll get to see him in the Breeders Cup before then.

Breeding rights.

Seriously, usually you see the geldings race at 4-7 years. Get in, pump up the horse, get them into a sex pasture. Repeat as needed.

They're actually better at racing at ages 4-7 than they are at ages 2-3. Breeders Cup races are more intriguing from a competitive perspective. But obviously the Triple Crown is the pinnacle of grandeur, you need to be a three year-old to enter the Triple Crown races, and if you perform well in Triple Crown races your semen can be more valuable than your future earning capacity.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:

It's a matter of finance; the good stallions will make more money in a year of breeding than a year of racing.

It's common for geldings to race for years because they don't have any potential breeding money to lose.
