The half to Storm Cat explains those knees. Geesh!

You know... I wonder if Storm Cat got his soundness problems from his dam (Terlingua) or his sire (Storm Bird?) Terlingua is the dam of Pioneering, but his sire is Mr. P. What are your thoughts?

I really don't know. Maybe others have some ideas about this.
My "guess" is that genetics for faults show up and then become prominent.
I also don't think Mr Prospector passed this fault, because so many of his "get" don't have it.
Hope this narrows it down.
It's kind of like tracing Secretariat's huge heart to the mutation from Blue Larkspur.
Your question is very interesting. My guess is to find the answer through a process of elimination.

Another great question.
I've never been there, but I know that the Cahokia lived on the east bank of the Mississippi (mound builders). Across from St Louis.
Down? I think that comes from ducks or geese.

I wish I understood these poster ratings systems. Cahokia freaking Downs trumps Suffolk Downs which is a spot above Pimlico?

Seriously, Cahokia Downs is going to drive me nuts.

Cahokia Downs was a track in Illinois that had mostly claimers. It closed in 1979.

Island Fashion She won short, long, turf, dirt all in graded stakes. They ran her against the boys. The Big Cap exacta was a gift! Thought she was a bit mismanaged needed to rest after the Big Cap instead of going to the Apple Blossum that year. Trip to Japan was a disaster. She was a trier!
