How unbelievable is this horse? Seriously. 42 starts, 20 wins, goes from barn to barn and always runs his race. From track to track.

Is this Skip Away's finest achievement as a stallion?

I only have charts for 14 of his races (TAM, HAW, and AP, and one CNL). Of these, he has 9 wins, of which one is a DH and 6 of the 9 are impressive (1 wipe-out and 5 'huge' runs, some against it.) So, only 3 of these wins are of the non noteworthy variety. I wonder if this is apparent in looking at his numbers.

I think anyone on this board is lying if they said they wouldn't want a gelding like him in the barn.
