Default Arromanches

Sired a runner in the 10th at CD tonight, with not a bad record. How has he done as a sire?

And the new trainer keeps his personal losing streak alive at 98 while halting "Win Ticket" at 10.....

Arromanches held up through 73 races and 800k on tough circuits. He had a paralyzed jaw and had to be fed with special care. The FACT that he sires winners with IN mares is a tribute to the horse. How would Arromanches be as a sire with quality mares...alot better than fancy KY sires.

Oh come on.....relax.

I will let you off the hook if you can tell me who claimed Arromanches after he won umpteen straight races and then watched him finish up the track.

Nah, It's a quarter on a string I think ... I'd use it to cheat the pop machines and vending machines into hooking me up and stuff. Free Pac Man!

Well, he does have a smiley on his face, no?

And I could have been worse, I could have said, "come to think of it, it looks...."

I believe this was a great claim for 16k

Arromanches was one of the most popular horses in NY and when I find one of his offspring as I browse the DRF, I try to make a note of it. Caixa Elektronika is probably his best.
Poor old Arromanches has to be feed a diet of mush because of his jaw. I required high maintenance but he was worth it.

Indeed . The 5 year old has been off for 7 weeks but working over the Keeneland poly since coming up from Calder . They seem to be handling him well and he's responded for his first black type. BM sire is Skip Away and there's 5 tail female reines so there is some nice breeding here .
