Charismatic Back Home

Postby TJ » Mon Dec 05, 2016 3:40 pm

Derby and Preakness winner, Charismatic returned home end of November after standing stud since 2003 at JBBA Shizunai Stallion Station in Japan. The return funded in most part, by the Lewis Family and Tito's Vodka (a staunch supporter of equine as well as animal charities in general)...so anyone who enjoys a martini or two or vodka any way, make sure you ask for Tito's from now on:>) Here's the story.

Hi Shergar,
You're welcome...it's good to have Charismatic back. Just a great story and a pretty lucky animal, unfortunately can't say the same for his troubled rider, Chris Antley. Here's the back story by Steve Haskin for some of you who weren't familiar with their journey. Worth the read. TJ

I don't know how sensationalized it was, but "Three strides before the wire" was a pretty good story about the Ant man.

Shergar
