I would have to think mating Cee's Song with Cee's Tizzy was hardly some decision based upon any "dynamite cross" that had the look of a possible genetic goldmine - It probably had everything to do with the fact that the two horses raced for the same owners.

Storm Cat didn't get a piece of Cee's Song until she already had like 10 or 11 foals.
