He didn't have a very good look as a stallion prospect here. |

![]() But there's no interest or market in American horses Internationally according to the anti-Lasix crowd..

![]() On a similar topic, Big Brown had his first starter go and was a winner. And it came in Russia.

![]() I don't see the connection between I'll Have Another being worth more in Japan than here because of a different value system we have with stallion prospects and a $15,000 Keeneland yearling winning a race in Russia ... with any of the lasix arguments.

![]() Like most arguments in favor of Lasix, it's ludicrous. Silly.

A lot of arguments against lasix are extremely silly. A lot of arguments for lasix are extremely silly. |

![]() Quote:
The pro lasix ones are ridiculous. And there is no connection. I think Mr. Host was just being clever! |

![]() Maybe some of the anti-lasix people said that anytime a horse receives an injection of lasix -- the lasix shot makes them tainted and ineffective as breeding material to all International breeders?
I wouldn't be surprised if someone said it somewhere -- I just haven't seen it argued by anyone around here. I don't read Joe Drape's blog though. Sounds like it could be something he's capable of saying. |

I'm certainly not saying that such drumbeats don't exist. I'm just not reading about them on here or elsewhere. |

![]() I could gather them up here and there. It's out there, believe me. Regularly hear/read that rationale included as a matter of absolute fact. The realities of changes in the market, surface specific demands of Intl racing, wider development of Intl stallion/broodmare rosters, etc., never mentioned... Just that we now breed inferior, stamina-absent, drug-addled horses that no one wants in the rest of the world.

![]() It will be interesting to see if I'll Have Another can make it in Japan.
I wouldn't be surprised if his final destination ends up being Korea or Turkey. There's just nothing about him that looks like good stallion material to me. |

![]() Plenty of numb nutz, believe me.. Chuck will support me on this point. We've discussed this and I think he's even addressed the topic on air with me.
