And shouldn't your #31 horse be spelled "Pot-oooooooo" as it was originally scrawled outside his stall?

And how long do you think it will be before all thoroughbreds trace directly from Whalebone?

Many I don't have in top 100...Hyperion is #35, Ormonde is #36, and Isinglass is #46. Potoooooooo's name was shortened to Pot8os I believe by his groom (not sure) and he's usually referred to thusly. Over 90% of all modern sires already trace to Whalebone. The son of Waxy, he the son of Pot8os...Pot8os of course the son of the great Eclipse!
