Did I miss something, Fantastic Light was pensioned? Was hoping he would stay at stud longer, but nice to see that he was returned to his former home.

He is one of my favorite turf runners. Surprised he had to be pensioned so early. Hoping one of his sons or daughters will continue on the Rahy-line.Originally Posted by serenassong

As far as sons- Lewis Michael seems to be the heir apparent - and we really won't know for a bit since his babies are just beginning to hit the track. There are a few- but no standouts-

I know a bit about Bop, have to admit, know next to nothing about Pounced, will have to look more into that.
As far as the female side- much stronger- with Mariah's Storm you got Giant's Causeway, Freud and Tumblebrutus(who is doing well with Argentine runners)Serena's Song you got Grand Reward(better with the Argentine runners- but some nice ones here *Guys Reward and Bad Debt* and Harlington(Harleys babies are just hitting the track now- so not a true picture as of yet)
Always thought his legacy would be thru his daughters, but we shall see.

@DRFOakford: Rumors were right: #Union Rags to Lane's End, farm announces.

@BH_DBiles: Talk at Saratoga sales was that the stud deal for Union Rags was $14 million. But this was not confirmed.
No surprise to me.Lane's End is where his sire Dixie Union stood.I hope to be able to tour Lane's End someday so that i can see Union Rags and A.P. Indy...as well as Courageous Cat(I love that boy)

Gosh, that's so sad, I guess it had to end sometime. Happy retirement!
