Hmmm, the maternal side of this pedigree is carrying several sturdy multiple winners. Don Prude was a very tough horse to beat. Plus a minor track record setter. Looks like it's a matter of time before a good one pops up. Don't forget that remote sabino ancestor, KY COLONEL was a sprinting world record setter. Then there is the fact that this colt is a son of a multi-million dollar sire (DHD). Hope for the better :wink: .

Has it been recorded who bought White Prince? It would be fascinating to follow his hoofbeats.........

Looks like the sale didn't go through - he's going back to his breeder

Yeah, that's too bad for the person that was bid against. Maybe they will contact the seller now, and get the colt afterall?
