Anybody heard something about Our Emblem possibly relocating?

I might be wrong but I seem to remember hearing that his first crop that was conceived after his return to KY was going to be racing this year, and that no decision would be made until after those horses had a chance to show what they could do on the track

Someone intimated to me that Stud TNT, where he's been going for the Southern Hemisphere season for a few years, bought him. But, I hadn't seen an article with that information anywhere. He's not on Taylor Made's stallion site or in the TTimes online directory. At the BH Stallion Register, he's listed as standing for $7.5K at TM for '06. But, they told me there in June that Real Quiet was leaving and would stand in PA this year. And I don't think BH or TTimes printed anything about it until September.

Probably the best thing to do would be to call TM and ask.

OK, I called and they confirmed that he was purchased by Stud TNT. He never came back to TM from Southern Hemisphere duty.

Bummer. LOL i wonder how long before his babies start burning up the track again? It always seems to work that way when they sell a horse they give up on (his KY foals haven't even started yet have they??)

Here's the DRF article on the same subject: http://www.drf.com/news/article/72197.html

Wow sure took'em awhile to get this out. Our Emblem just can't catch a break can he?
