Oxbow... durable?

Postby Cree » Fri Oct 25, 2013 2:06 pm

Retired to Taylor Made Farm for 2014.

Durable? I question that. Yes, he made it through the TC. He raced once a month this year (except 2 races in May), then he wrenched an ankle (?) and is not coming back to race, instead he is retired.
13 starts, 8 this year.

Is that our new definition of durable?

A great man cannot help himself," "He can see things that other men cannot see themselves, and his greatness lies in doing whatever is necessary to make his vision real
