Thanks for sharing! Eskendereya is a massive SOB.. Question; any reason for of the pile of chairs pic?

That was a in dumpster up by the top of the stretch. I guess they ripped them out from somewhere, and put them there. Why it's there is another question--and I can't answer that one.

What about Cool n Collective? I see he is wearing polos, a yoke and rings, was he schooling or breezing?

Great pics of Eightyfiveinafifty and Eskendereya in particular.

Thanks for sharing! [/u]

He was retired at age 13—He paraded B4 race 6.

They had a little ceremony for him.

If the sun had been out later in the day the pictures would have been brilliant, but what can you do...

Thanks Stevie - how nice they had a retirement ceremony for Cool N Collective. Gotta love those old war horses.

There is a 12 yo mare here who just won a start or two ago. They were going to breed her but she wouldn't come into season so they kept her in training and she won!

I was like wow...so this is Eskendereya

he had a presence—big, strong and on the muscle.

I was impressed...
