Roberts was last seen shooting heroin in an alley in Robbins.

All the above had talent.

Thanks, I needed a good laugh.

And if you were serious, I guess we just define "talent" differently.

Clint Galbraith is now 86 years old assuming he is still with us. I know he went from the top of the heap to who knows what? After having some incredible horses what drove him to being irrelevant?

Very headstrong man. His out of date homebred and the farm. Mucho cash out-little cash in.

At one point they were giving horses away because they could not care for all that he homebred.  Not sure he is still around but they were dumping horses quick in 2014-2016. so assuming he may have been gone then.

Honestly, because he was never great. He sucked and was an arrogant thief. Niatross overcame his connections like no horse in history. Clint trainer/driver, Billy Gill asst. trainer and his wife as the groom. Sire stakes guy who got lucky with two horses. Niatross and Call for Rain....I know I will catch heat from some of you like, wiseowl.  I don't care  I am right

I think Clint's wife's father had all the money to get them started. I heard she got an endowment every year and then then the money ran out.
