Love to see a mention of Mioland, another of the forgotten horses of our history. Bred in Oregon. By a German St. Leger winner whose dam was Italian. Not a standout at stud, left behind a few good ones like Aegean (SW, 3rd Santa Anita Derby and a sire of SWs in California) and his brother Mio Sea (exported to Chile, SW and sire). Just a typical top level handicapper, and he was carrying 130 lbs more often than not, conceding 15, 20 or more pounds to his inferiors.
