Wow. He was a 1982 colt. I didn't know you could keep using frozen semen forever and a day. I am sure, I read a year or two ago that there would be no more Somebeachsomewhere and I thought there must have been a limit on how long you could keep using frozen semen. Maybe there is now? I notice Falcon Seelster has not had any foals since 2020
