He will do fine in NY.

Carlos Martin has a nice looking Golden Missile (mdn)colt by the name of Golden Weekend. A good sized chestnut with a nice stride...not likely to be a world beater but should break out of the mdn ranks soon enough.

i still cant believe the day kent D got him beat here in the hawthorne gold cup by dust on the bottle, whom i believe still raced 3 years later and couldnt win a ALW race in LA afterwards. glen and sharon hild looked like they won the lottery after the race here. of course they were accused of cruelty on their farm but thats a whole nother can of worms

Among the horses also defeated that day was NY stallion Catienus in his last race. I would have loved to take bets that day on who would be more successful at stud.

Ramsey did a good job with Catienus early on. Whoever advised him did a really good job. I hope that person got paid.

Catienus 22-5-5-2 $370,386 progeny earnings 4 crops $10,418,634
Golden Missile 25-7-7-4 $2,194,510 progeny earnings 4 crops $7,134,719

Catienus was $7,500 for 2007, Golden Missile will be $7,500 for '08

catienus doing quite well, keeping him in the relatively small pond of new york, rather than being a small fish in a big pond in ky, has paid off.

Do Catenius' progeny do better on the turf compared to Golden Missile? I was thinking maybe that has a little do with Catenius' progeny earning more?

It seems like the Storm Cats overall do better than A.P. Indys on turf, so that's why I raise the question (Catenius sired by S.C., Golden Missile sired by A.P. Indy).
