Really, really, really, really old sons of long-gone champion sires


I'm baaaack! Anyway, there's been a bit o' news recently about sons of old sires like Northern Dancer and Raise a Native that have been pensioned and/or have passed away. R.I.P. I had no idea that RaN still had sons at stud! Raise a Man, the 30-year-old son of Raise a Native, just passed away after standing in New York, while Lucky North, a son of Northern Dancer, was also just pensioned. I think it's great that, after their long stud careers, these studs are getting their long-due rest. Vacation, anyone?

Here's Raise a Man at the top.
