“The tired and thirsty prospector threw himself down at the edge of the watering hole and started to drink. But then he looked around and saw skulls and bones everywhere. "Uh-oh," he thought. "This watering hole is reserved for skeletons."”
Jack Handy
“He has the Mr. Prospector/A.P. Indy cross that's worked so well. He's a horse I think is unique in that he's going to appeal to Americans and Europeans. He's got a real loose walk, and he looks like he could go either way, dirt or turf. But he's got enough hip and he's stout enough where he could be a Derby horse, too.”
Mark Taylor
“That's the Claiborne way. That's the way it was with Mr. Prospector and Nijinsky, and that probably had a big influence on the longevity of their stallions careers. Northern Dancer wasn't a very fertile stallion, but all three of those, all of them his sons who stood here, had very long careers.”
Gus Koch
“I would say Mr. Prospector for instance, who was not as fashionable on the track, if he stood today probably would not have bred enough mares early on in his career to establish himself. His genetic potential would have been lost forever if there were stallions breeding 200 mares because no one would have bred to him.”
