Justify covered 410 mares in 2023. In the US - 222 (9th biggest book) In Australia - 188 (7th biggest book; busiest shuttle sire) Is that sustainable? I'm wondering whether he'll be covering the same numbers this year, now he's private? I can't bring myself to celebrate 410.

You'd have to think that could well be the last ever Classic winner for the peerless Galileo. He's got one more crop of three-year-olds to come next year, but it's tiny. Maybe there's a gem in there, but odds are this epic thread ends with Jan Brueghel. Respect, old man. 🫡

So disappointing from Auguste Rodin - he really is an all-or-nothing colt, isn't he? At least we know we can't write him off, though, given his tendency to do this. You'd be brave to rule him out in his next G1.

I know this isn't relevant to Justify but it makes me think: surely it's time to scrap off 'number of winners' as the metric for crowning first season champion sires? All it does it encourage unproven stallions to cover mega books. Wouldn't a ratio of winners: runners be fairer?

@StebbyMartin If we break our leg, we are on bedrest for weeks and wheeled around in a wheelchair while it heals. This is usually not possible for horses, who are 500kg flight animals on small legs. Some equine fractures can be repaired - and these often are - but many are too severe sadly.

Was taken aback by how grey Authorized looks at nineteen years old.

Adayar will be aimed at the King George! 🙌 Depending on how things go there, he'll then go to the Arc or the St Leger.

Am I the only one on Racing Twitter who doesn't mind a bit of hype? 😁 Who cares if it's tenuous, overblown or later proven wrong? This sport thrives on promise and equine fairytales, and I'm going to enjoy watching the Baaeed hype train for as long as it's running. #noshame

I see Circus Maximus has dropped off the Coolmore roster for 2024. 😓 He hasn't even had runners yet. Does anyone know where he's off to?

Realistically, are any breeders who were thinking about using Baaeed going to change their mind after that?

Anyone else repeatedly refreshing 'Ascot' and trying to avoid all the 'horseracing ethics' discussions going on?

Maybe City Of Troy's Guineas defeat is a blessing in disguise - it gets the 'unbeaten' monkey off his back. Shame it had to happen in a Classic rather than a minor race (à la Sea The Stars), but hopefully this will preclude any overly conservative campaigning from here on in?
