QUESTION TIME!

[Dante]

So, school killed me dead. And it likely will next semester. So take a look at my Four year olds and tell me which you think would be best to retire. Aside from App, obviously xD sorry again, cav I know they're all doing very well, but I won't have the time with the new crop and school, and won't part with any of the original four horses of PHS. I plan to keep at least 2 of them running.

I make no promises I'll take anyone advice, but I'm curious of opinion for there you go.

Also, if anyone's interested/has time, My youngstock could do with an eval. I'm curious what people think of them, esp. next year's prospects. And yes, if you want, you can rip into all my stock. As long as you're constructive, I don't mind harsh.

Bonus Question: What does everyone think about 6yos still running? potential sorry again, cav

I would keep Lady Ophelia running. The mare was just awesome in the early part of Year Twelve and I have to say I've grown fond of her myself. I also think you could get very far with Devil's Crusade. He seems to have a special something and he's already a grade three. He has extra potential going into his fifth year.

Now I think running into the sixth year is awesome if you have the patience and the ability to run stock a long time. Something I just don't really have. Alluring Assault kind of disproved the fact that as you get older, you get slower. But App is completely different from Allure. The question is Dante: what exactly does he have to prove? He already is Hall of Fame material and I bet he gets inducted nearly unanimously. We haven't seen a turf three year old season like he had and he is still going. He's got respect from every single member in the team.

If he was a dual he'd have another surface to conquer and other top horses to beat, but he doesn't and he's holding down the fort in the turf division. He's beaten nearly everyone we have thrown at him. So what does he have to prove?
