offlee wild hasn ' t disappointed in that category . he gave robbins his first ever graded stakes win in january when he was the upset winner of the holy bull stakes at gulfstream park in hallandale beach , fla .
by ray paulick last spring , before any foals from the first - crop of offlee wild had made their way to the track , lansdon robbins was convinced the grade 1 stakes - winning son of wild again he raced with partners in the name of azalea stable was standing his final year at darley america in lexington .
offlee wild’s distance capabilities aren’t really surprising , given his stout darby dan pedigree and the fact that his sire , wild again , won the breeders’ cup classic at 10 furlongs . but let’s look at this family , which is one of my favorites ( if you’ve read my posts on dynaformer , you’ll know this ! ) .
funny cide gave his all , but he could not hold off the stalking offlee wild in a tremendous three - way stretch duel in the $ 500 , 000 massachusetts handicap ( gr . ii ) saturday at suffolk downs .
offlee wild returned $ 4 . 20 , $ 2 . 90 and $ 2 . 20 as the favorite . rogue agent paid $ 4 . 60 and $ 3 . 10 , and cuba was $ 3 . 20 .
“i guarantee you they were thinking about how they were going to get rid of offlee wild , ” robbins told the paulick report , “but i ' ll bet that ' s all changed now because of his performance . ”
offlee wild rebounded from a dismal effort in his last race and ran away with the $ 500 , 000 suburban handicap yesterday at belmont park . the favorite , funny cide , finished sixth in the eight - horse field .
offlee wild has all the credentials to make it as a sire based on pedigree and race record , but his pedigree and race record ( plus the dynaformer link ) all point to having success as a sire of 3 - year - olds who stay . the fact that he’s showing precocity as a sire is gravy ! i’d say , based on what we’ve seen so far , offlee wild is a good bet to make it as a sire !
offlee wild ' s development has been
amazing and unbelievable ,
said wayne schwertley , chief financial officer at service net and a partner in azalea stables .
he ' s exceeded our wildest hopes and expectations .
the kentucky derby and preakness - winning gelding funny cide battled between the lady ' s groom and the late - arriving offlee wild down the lane . but it was offlee wild , under strong urging from jockey edgar prado who prevailed by a head over funny cide . the lady ' s groom was a head farther back in third . the winning time in the 1 1 / 8 - mile handicap test was 1 : 49 on a fast track .
in the filly division , the 123 pounds assigned to blind luck ( pollard’s vision – lucky one , by best of luck ) and she be wild ( offlee wild – trappings , by seeking the gold ) is the standard impost for top experimental fillies and 1 pound less than the assignment on last year’s high weight , stardom bound .
offlee wild , a 5 - year - old who finished fifth of six horses in the pimlico special over a sloppy track on may 20 , finished the mile - and - a - quarter suburban in 2 : 00 . 50 .
one thing he learned , lanni said , is that many breeders give up on horses too soon . “they weren ' t failures , ” he said of stallions like offlee wild and big brown , “but breeders didn ' t support them . ”
produced from the seattle slew mare alvear ( a half sister to the successful stallion dynaformer and out of the hard - hitting grade 1 winner andover way ) , offlee wild was the most expensive son of wild again sold that year . he was bred by dorothy matz and raised at her sister helen alexander ' s middlebrook farm and sold by the middlebrook consignment .
out of mares descending from icecapade – a three - quarters relative to northern dancer – through wild again , tapit has four stakes winners , three graded and two grade one , including grade one winner tapizar and graded winner war echo out of mares from the immediate family of tapiture’s broodmare sire , olympio . there is also a tapit stakes winner out of a mare by wild again son , wild rush and wild again could also be brought in through offlee wild , milwaukee brew and whiskey wisdom . there is also a tapit stakes winner from the clever trick branch of this line out of a mare by phone trick , the sire of intidab , caller i . d . , mazel trick and favorite trick .
offlee wild took the lead rounding the far turn and then continued on gamely to win saturday ' s $ 500 , 000 suburban handicap ( gr . i ) at belmont park by 1 1 / 4 lengths over 26 - 1 longshot tap day .
but the freshman and juvenile sire titles weren ' t offlee wild ' s first longshot victories . a one - time kentucky derby contender following a 27 - 1 upset in the grade 3 holy bull stakes at gulfstream park in 2002 , offlee wild suffered what some thought was a career - ending injury in 2004 , but came back for his most significant win ever the following year in the grade 1 suburban handicap at belmont park . that was the triumph that sealed the deal to send him to darley .
last year it was breeders ' cup classic winner bayern , a son of offlee wild the canadian - born bloodstock agent picked out of the fasig - tipton midlantic 2 - year - olds in training sale for $ 320 , 000 on behalf of kaleem shah .
retirement comes less than a month after sheikh mohammed al - maktoum ' s darley organization purchased the 5 - year - old wild again horse to stand as a stallion at its jonabell farm in lexington , ky . offlee wild ' s racing career had been in doubt since he finished last of five in the aug . 21 saratoga breeders ' cup handicap and exited the race with ankle trouble .
by storm cat line stallions bred similarly to flashstorm , there are stakes winners out of mares by northern dancer’s grandson deputy minister , and his sons french deputy and victory speech , with other stakes producing versions of the storm cat / deputy minister cross coming through awesome again , dehere ( who should work well here , and is sire of graeme hall ) , silver deputy and touch gold . we can also note a stakes winner from a mare by louis quatorze ( sire of repent ) . northern dancer’s sire , nearctic , has also worked with similarly - bred stallions through icecapade’s sons clever trick ( sire of phone trick ) and wild again ( sire of free at last , milwaukee brew , offlee wild , vicar , wild escapade , wild event and wild rush ) .
offlee wild was one of 21 yearlings bought that year by robbins for azalea stables ( he owned 51 % and managed the stable ) and the last one named . “a bunch of names were rejected by the jockey club , so i asked for some help from an officer in one of my companies . he said , ‘we get wild now and then , how about awfully wild ? ' well , i didn ' t want the word ‘awful ' in a horse ' s name , so we just changed the spelling . ”
from smith to dutrow that jan . 18 victory—robbins ' first - ever starter in a graded stakes–would be the last win of the year for offlee wild , who jumped into grade 1 competition in his next three starts , finishing fourth in the fountain of youth , third in the toyota blue grass and 12th in the kentucky derby . after six more losses , extending his losing streak to eight races and 14 months , robbins sadly parted company with smith , giving offlee wild to rick dutrow in new york on the advice of hall of famer bobby frankel .
it ' s there that the 38 - year - old marketing entrepreneur and horse owner can check the progress of offlee wild , his kentucky derby contender , which will break from post position no . 7 under jockey robby albarado in saturday ' s 129th run for the roses .

tevfik celikoglu purchased the 14 - year - old son of wild again , and will stand him at the jockey club of turkey .
offlee wild’s dam is the seattle slew mare alvear , who’s also the dam of the g2 sw sangrita . alvear’s dam is none other than g1 winner and “blue hen” andover way ( by his majesty ) . andover way is , of course , the dam of dynaformer ! ‘nuff said there !

slop - loving rogue agent set the pace in the excelsior of : 24 2 / 5 : 48 1 / 5 and 1 : 12 3 / 5 as second - choice coast line stalked a length behind on the outside . bejarano kept offlee wild on a ground - saving trip until they straightened for home .
breaking from the inside post in the field of nine , offlee wild settled in behind the pacesetter the lady ' s groom , ridden by hector karamanos , who was pressured by a sharp funny cide and jose santos through tepid fractions of : 24 , : 48 3 / 5 and 1 : 12 2 / 5 .
“we opted for the surgery , even though there was no guarantee he ' d ever race again , ” robbins said . “so we sent him to dr . ( larry ) bramlage at rood & riddle . ” to hedge his bets , robbins put together a video highlighting offlee wild ' s career to that point . ( click

despite his first - year success , darley left offlee wild ' s stud fee at $ 7 , 500 for 2010 , a move that is certain to get him a full book of mares , and higher quality ones than he ' s ever had before . you can bet he ' s got a secure spot in the darley stallion barn—at least for the near future .
offlee wild led to the wire , while tap day closing late to finish second . pollard ' s vision held on for third as the winner finished in final time of 2 : 00 . 50 . the track record for the distance 1 : 58 1 / 5 . sir shackleton was fourth , followed by evening attire , funny cide , runaway russy , and record buster .
even though he did not think dutrow would approve of the suggestion , robbins indicated he would like to point offlee wild toward the aug . 13 arlington million ( gr . it ) at 1 1 / 4 miles on turf . he said the whitney ( gr . i ) , at 1 1 / 18 miles over the main track at saratoga , is also a possibility .
nancy mazzoni’s she be wild won four of her five starts in 2009 and earned $ 1 , 311 , 040 . in addition to the breeders’ cup juvenile fillies , she be wild won the arlington washington lassie stakes and was beaten a half - length when second in the darley alcibiades stakes . she was bred in kentucky by mike and nancy mazzoni .
it ' s not like robbins found offlee wild in the bottom of some barrel . he paid $ 325 , 000 for the colt on the opening day of the 2001 keeneland september yearling sale . robbins , who had been a shareholder in several racing partnerships , formed azalea stable with a group of friends and came to keeneland with a budget of $ 1 million to buy some yearlings .
offlee wild was the leading freshman sire in north america in 2009 , and was represented by the eclipse award - winning 2 - year - old filly , she be wild , an earner of $ 1 , 311 , 040 that year . she won four of her five starts at two , culminating with the $ 2 million g1 breeders ' cup juvenile fillies stakes at santa anita . other victories that year included the g3 arlington - washington lassie stakes and top flight stakes . she also finished second , beaten a half - length , in the g1 alcibiades stakes . following a third place finish in the g1 ashland stakes at keeneland in april 2010 , she be wild was retired . she earned $ 1 , 355 , 540 in a seven - start career .
in posting his second win in his fourth start of the year , offlee wild paid $ 9 . 20 , $ 4 . 80 , and $ 3 . 60 . tap day returned $ 18 . 80 and $ 7 . 40 as the top two combined for a $ 151 . 50 exacta . pollard ' s vision paid $ 2 . 80 as he rounded out the $ 458 . 50 trifecta .
trainer thomas ( t . v . ) smith accompanied robbins to the sale and loved offlee wild . robbins put a $ 250 , 000 budget on the colt . “wild again was not a sexy stallion , ” robbins said , “so we didn ' t think we ' d have to pay that much . i kept looking at t . v . , and he kept raising his hand . we found out later that trainer michael matz ( dorothy ' s husband ) was the underbidder . he really wanted the horse , and when i saw him i said i ' m just glad you didn ' t keep bidding . ”
waiting outside the winner ' s circle after offlee wild ' s first grade 1 victory were several stallion farm representatives including dan pride , who went to the same elementary school in nashville , tenn . , as robbins . within days , they agreed to a deal to stand him the following year at the relatively new kentucky operation based at the former jonabell farm . a subsequent ankle injury forced robbins to retire him before the breeders ' cup .
grade 1 winner offlee wild , sire of an eclipse award in his first crop , and a potential eclipse winner in his current crop of 3 - year - olds , has been purchased by mr . tevfik celikoglu and will stand in turkey for the 2015 breeding season . mr . celikoglu was assisted in the purchase by his advisers , jean - pierre deroubaix of fba in france and marie yoshida of winchester farm , in lexington , kentucky .
so did she be wild , the probable 2 - year - old filly champion who won four of five starts , including the grade 1 breeders ' cup juvenile fillies , earning $ 1 , 311 , 040 .
“we had no plans to get rid of him , ” said olly tait , darley ' s current chief operating officer , in reference to robbins ' comments . “you obviously never know which stallions are going to make it , and offlee wild has had to do it the hard way . his opportunities are going to get greater and greater , and his offspring should get better with age . he didn ' t win his grade 1 until he was a 5 - year - old . ”
the blood - horse reports that the 16 - year - old stallion by wild again died of a heart attack as he was being led out from his stall to his paddock at the farm of his owner , tevfik celikoglu .
born august 5 , 1959 , richard dutrow jr , is from a family of racehorse trainers and set out on his own in the early 1990s . things were not easy at first but he became new york ' s leading trainer in 2001 and 2002 and then came the gr . 1 winners offlee wild and saint liam , while love of money won the gr . 2 pennsylvania derby . he has trained 150 winners in 2006 with cxhk mile winner rebel rebel ' s win in the woodbine mile most memorable .
but offlee wild beat the odds , rising to the top of the freshman sire list in 2009 with progeny earnings of $ 1 , 951 , 283 , edging hill ‘n ' dale farm ' s roman ruler–who had twice as many 2 - year - olds and nearly twice as many runners–by a slim margin . he also finished first on urltoken ' s juvenile sire list , though thoroughbredtimes . com , which includes earnings from southern hemisphere runners , listed coolmore ' s giant ' s causeway first among juvenile sires of 2009 .
for unknown reasons , the hoof on wild again ' s left forefoot always grew out faster than the hoofs on the horse ' s other three feet , necessitating a customized schedule for farrier visits to ensure that all four feet stayed properly trimmed .
following the surgery , bramlage , in a sept . 30 , 2004 , “lameness exam report discharge form , ” gave a “favorable to race but unfavorable to hold his class” prognosis for offlee wild . “if all we had to do was get him back to race , he looks like he will do that , ” bramlage wrote . “if we need to get him back to stakes company , i don ' t think he can do that with the change in shape of his cannon bones . that cheapens a horse and eventually ends their career .

ridden by edgar prado , offlee wild was settled in fourth on the outside early while record buster jumped out to an early lead . stalked by 3 - 1 favorite pollard ' s vision , record buster and javier castellano drew off to lead by six lengths while setting fractions of : 23 . 92 , : 46 . 51 , and 1 : 09 . 81 . but the pacesetter was done after three - quarters of a mile and the rest of the field closed rounding the turn for home in the 1 1 / 4 - mile main track test .
racing over a sloppy track while carrying top weight of 121 pounds , the 5 - year - old son of wild again earned $ 120 , 000 for az azalea stable with his fifth win in 16 career starts . he has won $ 668 , 825 .
, wild again ranked five times among the top 10 american general sires , peaking at second in 1997 . the jockey club credits him with 639 winners ( 65 . 9 % ) and 84 stakes winners ( 8 . 7 % ) from 969 named foals ;
robbins had good reason to be concerned . scan the list of 2009 stud fees for the 16 stallions then standing at the lexington farm owned by sheikh mohammed , and offlee wild was at the very bottom , at $ 7 , 500 live foal . his first crop of foals , born in 2007 , totaled just 62 , and only reached that number because of a deal former darley chief operating officer dan pride cut with texans bill and corinne heiligbrodt to breed 13 of their mares to the stallion . his second crop had fewer still and his third crop , born in 2009 , numbered just 32 .
hill ' n ' dale ' s 9yo roman ruler is the stallion of the week , for the week ended monday , dec . 7 . represented by 28 winners so far from his first crop , the son of fusaichi pegasus and silvery swan closed the gap between first - crop leader offlee wild and him to a few thousand dollars this weekend . with the $ 450 , 000 his son rule earned by winning the g3 $ 750 , 000 delta jackpot stakes friday night at delta downs , it ' s certain that the title of leading freshman sire will go down to the last day of the year .
the blood of wild again , whose pedigree is built on good old foundations – the repeated combination of best pre - wwii european stallions nearco and hyperion ( he is 3x4 inbred to both ) – is thus still alive . bayern could prove to be a new spur for it .
the sons of wild again do not lag behind . so far , twenty - four of them have produced a black - type winner and together they have produced a total of 225 black - type winners . the best among them is the winner of the 1997 breeders’ cup mile wild event , sire of 51 black - type winners , most of whom were born in brazil . the winner of the metropolitan handicap ( gr . 1 ) wild rush who had a good stud record too was sold to japan after five seasons at adena springs in kentucky . although he produced in japan , among others , the two - time winner of the japan cup dirt ( gr . 1 ) transcend , most of his black - type progeny was born in north america , such as the three - time gr . 1 winner stellar jayne or two - time winners dream rush and hollywood story .
blind luck and she be wild are weighted 2 pounds higher than grace stables llc’s hot dixie chick ( dixie union – above perfection , by in excess ( ire ) ) . hot dixie chick’s three wins from four starts included the spinaway stakes and schuylerville stakes . she earned $ 285 , 685 .
“t . v . was a 100 % hay , oats and water guy , and i really loved him , ” robbins said , “but he wouldn ' t do a lot of things other trainers would do , like using steroids , which were then legal . a lot of these trainers would use every legal avenue available , and he wouldn ' t even use something like gastrogard to treats ulcers . i wanted to be on a level playing field , as long as everything was legal . offlee wild was getting thinner and thinner and looking like a greyhound . taking him away from t . v . was one of the toughest decisions i ever had to make . ”
foaled in kentucky , wild again was bred by w . paul little . he was owned by black chip stable after being purchased for us $ 35 , 000 at the 1981 fasig - tipton kentucky july sale . he was initially trained by tommy akin but spent most of his racing career in the barn of vincent timphony . wild again entered stud in 1986 in kentucky at calumet farm and moved to three chimneys farm , also in kentucky , in 1991 . he was pensioned in october 2004 due to declining fertility . he was humanely destroyed on december 5 , 2008 , due to the infirmities of old age and was buried next to
bayern , the winner – prior to bc classic – of the gr . 1 haskell invitational , woody stephens stakes ( gr . 2 ) and the million dollar pennsylvania derby ( gr . 2 ) – is the best product of offlee wild so far and is one of seven black - type winners by him whose dam comes from the line of mr prospector . he comes from a successful family which can be characterised by a single name – courtly dee . bayern’s third dam , the 1983 broodmare of the year , is a dam of eight black - type winners including the champion juvenile filly althea and granddam of the influential stallion green desert and great granddam of another successful stallions , arch .
the stretch drive of the inaugural breeders ' cup classic ( usa - i ) was a roughly run affair , and wild again ' s victory by a head over gate dancer ( who was disqualified to third for interference with slew o ' gold ) was only confirmed after a nine - minute review by the stewards .
his victory in the breeders’ cup classic is , so far , the best success of the line established by wild again . as has been pointed out above , twenty - four of his sons have been able to produce a black - type winner and there are his grandsons at stud who can do the same . the brazilian neleo , the son of bright again , is one of them , having produced already the gr . 1 winner conclusivo ; a gr . 1 winner has been produced by the brazilian born capitano corelli , the sire of santa guapa successful in uruguay . four black - type winners have been sired by the winner of the louisiana derby wimbledon by wild rush .
bred in kentucky by fairlawn farm , blind luck’s four victories from six starts last year included the hollywood starlet and oak leaf stakes . she also finished third by three - quarters of a length to she be wild in the breeders’ cup juvenile fillies . she earned $ 709 , 050 for her owners mark dedomenico llc , john carver and jerry hollendorfer .
a dark bay or brown horse standing 15 . 3 hands , wild again was a plain animal with a good shoulder and hip and short cannons . he stood a bit over at the knees and his hocks were out behind him . he was characterized as “a gentleman” by the staff at three chimneys farm , where he spent most of his stud career .
a winner at two , offlee wild was classic bound at three after winning the g3 holy bull stakes at gulfstream park in january of that year and finished third , behind peace rules , in the g1 blue grass stakes at keeneland . although unplaced in the g1 kentucky derby , he returned at four to win the 1 1 / 8 - mile g2 massachusetts handicap over derby / preakness winner , funny cide . at five , he captured the 1 ¼ - mile g1 suburban handicap over a field that included funny cide , evening attire , pollard ' s vision and tap day , and the g3 excelsior breeders ' cup handicap at 1 1 / 8 miles by 8 ½ lengths . he retired with a record of six wins , three seconds and two thirds from 19 starts , for earnings of $ 976 , 325 .
offlee wild got his start at the webb carroll training center in south carolina , then joined t . v . smith ' s stable in kentucky . he broke his maiden at second asking at churchill downs in october of his 2 - year - old , won an allowance race there in november , then was pointed for the holy bull at gulfstream . he won by a head at 27 - 1 , and among the also - rans that day was a new york - bred gelding named funny cide , who would go on to win the kentucky derby . “after that win , the sharks started circling , ” robbins said . “some bloodstock agents said the horse should be with a different trainer , someone like bob baffert or nick zito . one guy got in my face about it before i even made it to the winner ' s circle . ”
best remembered for his controversial win over slew o ' gold and gate dancer in the first breeders ' cup classic ( usa - i ) , wild again was not quite a first - class horse but was tough , willing and game . he was able to transmit those qualities consistently as a stallion , allowing him to continue the male line of nearctic ' s second best son , icecapade .

why do i say this , you ask ? well , recoleta and i go way back ! i actually recommended the purchase of recoleta for a european client of mine . she was entered in a european sale in 2003 , and my client had me looking for mares specifically to purchase and ship back to kentucky to breed . when i ran across recoleta in the sales catalog – a wild again mare out of alvear , who was a full sister to then g3 winner offlee wild , and herself a half sister to dynaformer – i said to my client “what’s this mare doing in europe ? she belongs in the u . s . and you’ve gotta buy her ! ” he did and for just 21 , 000 euros ! to me , she was the perfect mare to get the job done ! we purchased her inexpensively because she already had two unimpressive foals on the ground plus a third who hadn’t yet run , and was in foal to indian danehill . he foaled the indian danehill colt in ireland , bred her back to rock of gibraltar at coolmore , and then shipped her to kentucky . by the time the rock of gibraltar was foaled , her 2 - year - old by danehill dancer , named silent times , ( click here to view pedigree ) had won the g2 champagne stakes in england !

wild again’s victory in the first edition of the bc classic was not exactly expected . although the colt was supplemented in the race for usd 360 , 000 , his odds were 31 : 1 and others were seen as having better chances , including the favourite slew o’gold . wild again , sold as a yearling for usd 35 , 000 , had scored a gr . 1 victory in the meadowlands cup but in his last race , two week before the bc classic , he finished third in an allowance race on turf at bay meadows . in the race itself he took the lead early and kept it to the finishing line . the winner of the new orleans handicap ( gr . 2 ) and oaklawn handicap ( gr . 2 ) raced also as a five year old when his biggest success was the second place in the meadowlands cup handicap ( gr . 1 ) .
tapit has enjoyed remarkable success when his mates have featured the mare , carols christmas , in their pedigrees , this appearing in six of his stakes winners , including champion tapiture and grade one winner tapizar . tapiture , is out of a mare by olympio , a son of carols christmas , but this important is also found in wild wonder , early flyer , cuvee and will he shine , as well as in the pedigrees of her female descendents .
because wild again had not been nominated to the breeders ' cup before the initial deadline , his owners had to pay a us $ 360 , 000 supplementary fee to get him into the classic . considering that the horse was coming off a third - place finish in a turf allowance at bay meadows just two weeks before the breeders ' cup , the owners ' willingness to pony up the fee represented a tremendous vote of confidence in an animal who would end up going off at 31 - 1 .
canada is also home to the successful winner of the fayette stakes ( gr . 3 ) whiskey wisdom , the sire of eighteen black - type winners headed by gr . 3 winner and gr . 1 placed fifty proof . the two - year - old canadian champion free at last fared well too , producing sixteen black - type winners , as did bright again who found his new home in brazil and , similar to wild event , left a significant trace there , including fifteen black - type winners . and not just in brazil – his daughter necessaire won a couple of filly championships in uruguay .
bushel - n - peck , the dam of wild again , scored her biggest win when she defeated males in a division of the 1961 cinema handicap . a full sister to multiple stakes winner free copy , she is out of the dante mare dama ii , also the second dam of 1970 san jacinto stakes winner plenty old . dama ii , in turn , is a half sister to 1946 irish two thousand guineas winner claro ( by colombo ) and juvenile stakes winner kisaki ( by blue peter ; dam of juvenile stakes winner kahira , by nearco ) and lassy ( by palestine ) . produced from the mahmoud mare clovelly , dama ii is also a half sister to pangani ( by fair trial ) , dam of multiple stakes winner bandoola ( by my love ) .
his first break came when walmac international owner john t . l . jones jr . gave him a job selling stallion seasons . there , lanni met california owner george krikorian , who asked him to look for some racing prospects on his behalf . for $ 35 , 000 at fasig - tipton kentucky ' s 1999 october yearling sale , lanni found a daughter of dynaformer he purchased for krikorian . named starrer , she went on to win a pair of g1 races , including the santa margarita invitational handicap , and bankrolled over $ 1 million . a few years later came hollywood story , a daughter of wild rush purchased for $ 130 , 000 at fasig - tipton ' s july yearling sale . she won the g1 vanity invitational handicap and nearly $ 1 . 2 million for krikorian .
has died of a heart attack sept . 6 at the farm of his owner tevfik celikoglu in turkey , according to the turkish jockey club .
died while being taken from his stall to his paddock around 8 : 30 p . m . local time . the cause of death was confirmed by veterinarians .
and two races later finished third in the arkansas derby ( gr . i ) . bred by helen alexander , bayern would win four graded stakes , including the 2014 breeders ' cup classic ( gr . i ) and the william hill haskell invitational stakes . he also won the pennsylvania derby ( gr . ii ) and the woody stephens stakes ( gr . ii ) . he entered stud this year at hill ' n ' dale farms near lexington .
he didn ' t run at all over the wet track at pimlico ,
azazalea stable ' s lansdon robbins said .
we did some tests and x - rays and we didn ' t find anything serious . we laid off him for seven or eight days and he came around .
i have to give t . v . smith a lot of credit . he picked out a lot of my horses in 2001 ,
robbin said .
he just couldn ' t get this horse to the next level , and with multimillions of dollars invested in this game , i thought i had to make a move .
jerry bailey , who replaced jose santos aboard 2003 dual classic winner funny cide for the suburban , offered no excuse .
he felt perfectly fine warming up , but i never had any horse once the gate opened ,
bailey said .
