@spikeri812 Had he not been gelded he would never have raced or perhaps passed on bad traits to his offspring. His bloodline was coming out of fashion and he was a notoriously nutty horse who did a lot of crazy things during his career. He was a great race horse but not a nice horse to work with. He often ran off the track and did a lot of dangerous things. He may have passed that trait down to his offspring. The breed is better remembering him this way.
i was one of the nuts on a cold dec. day watching history as SEATRAIN made his final debut in a 20 clm. waving bye- bye. there was only 15 fans there. now there would be me and the photographer. the FANS are gone !
shame even though some of the great geldings like seatrain was gelded, why can't they freeze some sperm. just in case the gelding of a horse is the answer to make him a great. imagine a couple of three test tubes frozen in ice 'just in case'. there were many geldings that were runts, until they got cut, imagine rambling willie and so on. freeze a tube even if he's a yearling brat!

@in4freedom Seatrain -- he retired at 12 and spent the rest of his life at Perretti farm in NJ. He died in 2005 at the ripe old age of 33.

How old was Seatrain when he retired? Did he go to a good home?

I agree. He is way over the top. Screaming at the top of his lungs doesn't make the race more exciting.
