You know being used as a rabbit has to do something to a horse's psyche and you wonder what he might have done if raced elsewhere.

It's going to be really interesting to follow how his runners do here.  I knew there was interest to have him come over here but I really didn't think it would happen.

He was sidelined for most of his short career.  I don't like seeing horses retired at the end of their 3yo year.  Let them prove themselves at four and five and then see if they are worthy to contribute to the breed or if they need a new career.  Some horses you maybe can justify it (early to stud) if they are outstanding and there are other circumstances that might justify it but not a horse with a short resume like this.

Exactly.  I think he would have been a very good racehorse if given the right chances.

Exactly my thoughts.  Some it can be justified, but with Overdriven?  I just don't see it.

I hope she goes out a winner in the Sunshine Millions F&M Turf - she won it in January this year!  That will be her last race in 2013 I believe.

I think she will be a good mom.

I forgot to post that article earlier today....nice to see how they care for her, although a couple weeks between races gives me pause, but she has done it the old school way and is sound. Hoping she wins the last two races, and has a long and healthy retirement being a mom!
