Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 3536449, member: 363"] It seems like many of the top fillies are at least extending into their 5 year old career. The rush to make a stallion in this business has gotten absurd. Look no further that Toms De'tat who was given some time and hit his prime as a 6 and 7 year old racehorse. I mean a breeders cup distaff with Shedaresthedevil, Monomoy Girl, Midnight Bisou, and Swiss Skydiver would have been unreal. Instead one has been retired which I get, one is getting time off until spring, which is fine and Swiss may run in the classic. SO now we have one horse in Monomoy Girl who will probably run and be 4/5 if Swissskydiver does not run. Looks like Kenny McPeek may have the next great filly already. The NY bred by Laoban ( simply Ravishing) is 3 for 3 as a 2YO and won the alcibiades last week at Keeneland Grass horses all seem to stick around longer because they obviously have less value in the US as stallions [/QUOTE]
