'Naughty' & Kelly's Expert Handling..
How about the career Pat Kelly has fashioned for Naughty New Yorker? Yesterday he won his 11th stake and pushed his career earnings to $965,000 in start 41 (or $23.5k/start).
One Gr. III win; a Gr. I placing; 4 other GSP's. 9 NY bred stake wins and at least one stake win at 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Kelly never puts him in a spot where he can't hit the board, and despite being a very difficult horse to ride, rarely runs an off race. He's whole, but I've never heard Kelly talk about long term breeding plans or not, but you would think he'd be plausible as a regional sire. Liked him at 3, and enjoy watching him now.

Still, Quiet American certainly won't be known as a great sire of sires anytime soon, but as you say, as a regional stallion NNY might be plausible.

Unlike many horses NNY's got soundness and durability, which the breed needs. Of course breeders all claim to want it too, but most don't take it when offered because most sound durable stallions are not fashionable at the sales.
Kelly has done a great job with NNY. As mentioned, he's not an easy ride. He weears that crazy blinker and sometimes chooses to close from far back, yet other times is involved early. I suspect that one has to let him do as he pleases, fighting would be futile. Bewteen Evening Attire and NNY Pat Kelly has proven his skills many times over, not that he needed to of course.

To whom did Galloping Grocer barely lose the Remsen back in 2004? Eh?

Would have to be Rockport Harbor... That's funny too, because it's Galloping Grocer I didn't recall in the Remsen!

The "Grocer" was the one who came out of that race with the hype after he nearly beat the to that point undefeated Rockport Harbor. As a matter of fact, isn't there still a rockportharbor.com out there somewhere?

As for the website, it has become more about Porter than it is about Rocky.
