The stall the great horse left at Philadelphia Park in the summer of 2004 is 108 miles from the stall he occupies now at Ghost Ridge Farms. Get on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Bensalem, cruise out to Exit 286, head south 20 miles on Route 222 to Lancaster, cut another 20 miles southwest to York on Route 30 while crossing the Susquehanna, get off at the Pa. 462 exit, take a left on Kreutz Creek Road (State Route 2001), pass the Frosty Freeze, continue as the name changes to Freysville Road, make a right on Ness Road, another right on Dietz Road and there, on the left, the now 10-year-old horse resides, living a very nice life, sharing a road with a suburban subdivision and a barn with three stallions that make Ghost Ridge the home of the best sires outside of Kentucky.

It really has been 7 years since the most accomplished horse born in Pennsylvania won the Preakness by the largest margin in the history of the race.
