One of my favorite horses. Be well Gio!

Fantastic horse; a champion.
Thanks to his connections for letting him run as long as they did

Byk has gone though the math of his several close losses that could have had earning an un-bee-lee-vable amount of money. They guy was a professional.

I agree. I am really going to miss him.

I agree. I am really going to miss him.

I will miss betting against him the last year or so...........but he damn sure was a great horse.........

I predict he will be a fantastic sire. His $20,000 initial stud fee is quite modest and brings tons of value to breeders too considering he's bred for dirt and has excelled on turf and polytrack, making him quite useful. I look forward to seeing his offspring run!

Looking forward to his babies!
