Yes I hope they allow visitors there especially since Lentenor is there now too. Very interesting that they are standing 2 Dynaformer son's one who is a long distance horse and one who is better in races up to 1 1/8 mile

Look forward to hearing more about this new owner of Calumet and his breeding goals.

Well they get to pick a Dynaformer for either type, depending on their mare....I remember when I had my Irish Setter bred, I had my choice of a confirmation or a field setter, by the same dam, I think, best of both worlds and which you wanted to produce. I'm excited about Lenny and Amercain, can't wait to see those first foals! 

Yes foals for both in 2014!! Actually we will see Australian bred foals for Americain fall of 2013

It is the best of both worlds!!!  I'm so excited!!!

Toby's Corner arrived in Japan to begin his stallion career at Hidaka Stallion Station:

I love the big smile on the handler who has Toby's Corner in that first picture.  Wishing him the best.

Awwww I love Toby!  Will miss him, he was a fun horse to be around when I was down @ Fair Hill.  Looks like he will have a good life though!

Thanks Greg - I just love Toby!  Great picture - all curious!!

More on Calumet and I like what I'm reading.  And I wonder if they'll move English Channel from Lanes End to Calumet.

Classic Hopes in Calumet's Renewal

 ...the acquisition of Americain, who will fall heir to a number of mares purchased specifically to be sent to his sire. These moves do not suggest someone who is looking either for profits in the sale ring or a quick return on investment at the track. What they do suggest is that Kelley is serious about breeding horses that can recapture Calumet's glory days in the mid-20th century. And that means horses with the stamina, soundness, and speed to capture Triple Crown races, the top weight-for-age races, and major handicaps.
