Give me a minute to explain my thinking, then u can all ridicule me and tell me how crazy i am!
Although o`brien has alway said there will only be one YEATS, he has always like the idea of retaining a horse through the seasons to contest the longer distance older horse races, which i think was what he was trying to do this season with AGE OF AQUARIUS! After the terrible incident with A O A, o`brien no longer has a horse capable of this! Or does he in F A G, to me F A G pedigree and style does not stand out to me as him being a world beating sire! At the end of this season there is going to be a couple of places available on the coolmore sire rosta, obviously RVW has the first spot nailed down as o`brien has always loved the horse and he has a much more appealing stallion prospect!
A O A due to his accident is going to the coolmore sires rosta, albeit coolmore would rather have raced him on to get some more group races into his cv!
Cape Blanco has also probably done enough to earn his place at stud, so this is 3 colts going off to the coolmore ranks, take into account how SNA does over the remainder of the season, coolmore have obviously always seen him as a future stallion!
does this leave any room for F A G on the rosta? or will they keep in in training and try to emulate the great YEATS and win some of the top staying races around?
Now i have given you some food for thought, please feel free to voice your opinions and ridicule the idea! or agree

More chance of Cape Blanco going for the Gold Cup than F+G.
A Group 1 Winner at 2,3,4 runner up behind the Great Sea The Stars. Looks like a High Chaparral sort of sire and could go well down under as the above mentioned has. |

my opinion is the cape blanco is a very ordinary horse, and they have been lucky to get the results out of him that they have! i think if he ran on again next season the will get no group races out of him, which will shorten his stallion value! i can see them trying to expose him as a derby winner and shuttle him over the 3 coolmore operations! or maybe a sale to the de **** yard, and some trips to meydan may beckon for him!
Maybe SNA will be there leading older horse next season, but nobody can say for sure how he is going to do when he returns! I can just see F A G being an ideal gold cup horse |
