I don't know.......but I didn't believe he should have been in Florida when his sire is there. I'd be curious as well.

He ran at 4, won the Del Mar Breeders Cup G2 @ a mile, defeated
During, Domestic Dispute.
Ran 2nd to Kela, defeating Taste of Paradise
he won from 5 1/2 to 1 1/16
and earned $ 1,319,210
As I recall he is a nice looking horse, but have not seen him in person.
Appears to me that he is worth the $ 2500. fee ?????
Mahubah did you see this one in the flesh?

I saw him last November while on vacation. He's a good looking boy, although he wasn't very filled out as he just came off the track. I must admit I was surprised about his stud fee, I could have sent a mare to his sire for $1,500 less! :shock:

I saw Supah Blitz at a major California breeding farm over a year ago. He was being offered as a stallion prospect, although I thought far too expensive considering his pedigree. I found him a very attractive, muscular animal. He was in a stall so I couldn't evaluate his legs, but a horse as tough as him probably has some pretty good wheels on him. I sure liked his type.

Apparently he had no buyers and was placed back in training in Florida this year. It is odd that he wasn't placed in Florida to stand, but returned to California. For a racing man with patience, I think Supah Blitz might be a decent choice, albeit somewhat overpriced.

p.s. I noticed two mares in foal to Supah Blitz in the upcoming Ocala sale.
