Really great article. And the woman who bout him for 1k because she spotted him in the back ring and liked him. Great story all around and goes to show that the commercial sales ring is what often causes so many underrated sires to continue to fly under the radar. Hopefully Protonico will continue to get great mares and an even bigger book. Props to his owner for never giving up on him either.

Wow. What a great attitude.

It’s stories like this that makes the horse world what it is. A collection of cock-eyed optimists.

Right on!
