After the 12th place finish in the Arc, I wonder if they felt like the time had come.

I share the worry about horses that go to Japan but he's at a top stallion station and maybe he will end up standing in Ireland one day.  

Thanks for the news on Big Drama going to Stonewall Farm for stud duty.  Wish him all the best.  And will miss him.

Already making plans to visit Mr. Fantasy and my mom is making up a basket of goodies to send him... : )

Your mom is going with you? How fun!!!!

Shocked to hear Wilburn was retired!!    Anyone know WHY??  I mean, was there an injury or what?  Sheesh!!

Mr. Fantasy is my Mom's baby.  She loves him, as do I.  When he was a yearling and we saw him for the first time he walked over to her and put his head on her shoulder.  It's been a love story ever since.

We likely won't see him until next year but she's sending him some goodies now.

Thanks!    Don't know how I missed this - dang!!!
