fitzy 143 Report post Posted June 22, 2019 Not surprising really even Epsom Derby winners struggle to be commercial stallion prospects unless they have been top 2yo’s or have won G1 miles. The fact that Crown Prosecuter paid over $100 in winning the derby should tell you enough about his 3yo form. Expect his temperament as a colt was the main issue. benzracing 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
