DM came out of the race fine. He didn't bleed or anything. He just got tired being so close to that fast pace. He doesn't want to run like that. He wasn't going to beat the winner any way, but he would have probably run much better if he would have been another 4-5 lengths back.

BETSY!!! I know you're the world's biggest Indy supporter, and he deserves recognition in becoming a sure bet as a sire of sires, but Declan's Moon... really???

His best runner is the talented Malibu Mint but his other standout is Declan's Moon who hasnt been able to reach top form in two years!

When 4 of his top 10 earners of the year are under 100k and only two are above 200k, do you really think he deserves a 40k fee? He is over-priced and over-hyped... most his stakes winners are not of much quality... he would be a good bet at 20k, but not 40k. In his defense, he does a good job on his mares... but all things considered, 40k is steep for a hit and miss sire who seems to be getting a lot of second tier track stakes winners and many of his foals have soundness issues.

He's very much a "Belong to Me" type.
