Justify is like if you took all of the racing industry's ailments and condensed them down into a single horse. Short career because of greedy owners, overbreeding because of greedy stud farms, shadows over his record because of systemic problems with racing jurisdictions. I was frankly hoping he would be a bust at stud because nobody involved with the horse deserves to be rewarded for the way they've treated him, but none of it is his fault. I hope any fertility problems are natural, not the result of what they've done to him, and I hope he gets a chance to be a horse at some point in his life ..read more

Pretty sure you're right. I remember seeing that picture posted around the internet several times during the California Chrome craze back in 2014-16.

Maybe breeding 410 mares last year compromised him on some spectrums? Really sad that people worry about racing's impact on a horse's body when some farms push the envelope with such an unworldly demand on a stallion. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the WinStar treatment either. Unethical. Statistics: Posted by Psychotic Parakeet — Wed Apr 24, 2024 10:48 pm ..read more

earlier this year we discussed how big we thought his book would be. say it's about 275 (or higher. after Golden Pal, nothing surprises me anymore), is it fair to assume his actual number of covers would be 500+, especially if he is struggling to get them in foal? also TDN reported that he will cover "select mares" in SH time. i wonder if maybe there wouldn't be as much demand for him good mare wise to make the trip too worth it. weren't there rumors there was something off with his feet a few years ago when he also didn't go so maybe they don't want to take that risk...? When those hoof ..read more

Justify won’t be going back to Coolmore Australia. I guess he is too valuable now? Or Storm Boy and Learning to Fly didn’t quite take off as they had hoped. But Tom Magnier also mentioned that their best Australian mares are going to Shinzo. https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/j ... sWMO_w88hw He’s been struggling getting mares in foal this year so I wonder if that’s part of the reason also. Interesting - has it been said if it's a fertility issue or a performance problem? With the outrageous number of mares justify covers in America alone (222 in 2023) hes probably exhausted Stati ..read more

My news feed has several articles about the incident. Here are a couple. My greatest concern is for the horse who ran into a taxi. The photo of a small taxi/van with the side bashed in shows how hard the impact was. https://apnews.com/article/horses-loose ... a663e2c786 https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-england-london-68888416 Statistics: Posted by BaroqueAgain1 — Wed Apr 24, 2024 9:19 pm ..read more
