It's been bested a few times since mid April.

Three times over KEE's polytrack at the KEE April preview, and once at Barretts May over an equally souped up surface.

Oh. Oh well... fast nonetheless.

It's a shame that he broke down.

A Carson City (Hip #192) just worked 20 2/5ths at the Barretts May Sale.

A Lemon Drop Kid and a Yankee Gentleman worked 20 1/5 at the recent Keeneland Sale. Those two horses set the new world record.

A Quarter Horse has ran 20.6 before as well.

I like Unbridled's Song. Quite a few of his babies are extremely fast and a lot of them move well.

Her 2yr old colt out of Storm Cat just sold at the Keeneland April 2yr old in Training sale for 125K. Not sure what kind of deal they may have brokered for the stud fee but since the asking price is 500K I would be inclined to think they wanted to get more than 125K out of the colt.

Her Gone West colt (Southwestern Heat 3 yr old) has not done too bad. I think he is 7:2-0-3

Certainly Songandaprayer offspring are hot right now (at least in he sales ring) and while he is certainly not the caliber of what she has been bred to in the past its not unheardof.

I figure they expect the Songandaprayer foal to be like greased lightning so I can't blame them, it just struck me as odd regarding fee comparability. That Storm Cat colt must have the usual knee issues. If the conformation were decent wouldn't you expect a Storm Cat/Xtra Heat to be a highlight? I don't recall her conformational situation but seems like she was hardly flawless herself. Was it the pedigree that got the colt as far as it did? And no flaw too egregious?

The colt went in 10 flat at the preview day which was a nice fast time but you are right in that something must have been amiss for him to go for "only" 125K. I didnt get a good look at him because I was busy looking at others and knew he would be out of my price range on sale day.
