He's proven to be a consistently good sire, and I know a lot of us would love Zenyatta to go to him next year. I couldn't find another Ghostzapper thread in the search, so please forgive me if one already exists.

Both races were very nice and I got paid better then expected in both because of the good numbers underneath...
Whoop whoop
I'm getting pretty excited about the next couple of derby preps here in southern California....gonna be some competitive races.
