I think Kathy Barraclough made a statement once about how she didnt understand why NY didnt embrace this guy (being a stake winner w/ pedigree and all). So my guess is he didnt get many mares and being sold was a smart choice. Maybe he is doing alright in VA. I know his owner supported and raced the foals he had, but they didnt pan out much.
