Probably the greatest sire of the last 25 years died in Ireland this afternoon. I had not known (Blood Horse obit) that he had more BC wins than any other sire. RIP, Sadler\'s Wells.

Second item. His grandson, Frankel, is heavily favored to win Saturday\'s 2000 Guineas. I thought it was great that this namesake was 2YO champion last year, and I\'d be happier still if he makes it \"classic winner\" on Saturday.
May they all come home safely!
