I know Megahurtz never won an eclipse, but, out of curiousity....
Over the last 25 years, how many of these champion 2-year-old fillies or champion filly and mares have dropped a champion in the breeding shed?
The only one I can think of was Inside Information (perhaps the most naturally talented filly I've ever seen)
And the champion she dropped (Smuggler) has to rate as one of the all-time worst to ever win that award. As much a fan of II that I was, and as much as I loved the name Smuggler---I have to admit, Smuggler was a complete dog biscuit with modest talent...if she had any at all
All the years I can remember looking at these message boards, theres always people who make a big deal when a top filly or racemare has had a new foal----and, the vast majority of the time, these horses couldn't outrun me.
