Forestry? LOL. True, his get sell well, but cmon, he sucks.

Especially at 125k or so.

Forest Wildcat is moderate at best.

Hennessy is one I forgot about. He did okay here and there.

TOTC gets a decent runner now and then, but mostly they are pretty frail and don't amount to much.

Harlan was good, but short lived.


Catienus is solid, considering his start at stud (wasn't he in NY?).

I'll take a pass on Freud and Exploit. Yankee Gentleman got off to a nice start and Pure Prize has had a couple of good runners.

I just don't see that as a tremendous roster for a supposed sire of sires.

Would you like a partial list from Northern Dancer, Mr. P., or even Raise a Native?

Isn't it a little unfair to compare Storm Cat to Northern Dancer, Mr. Prospector, or Raise A Native?

I'm no pedigree expert but I don't see how that's a fair comparison.

Unfair? If he's a sire of sires, then those are the standards to compare against.

$4 a gallon, now that's unfair!

Just so you know, I HATE Forestry, and think Storm Cat was supremely overrated, but you were looking for decent sires he's had, so I gave you a list.
