Distorted Humor has somehow become a great big route race stallion.

Hystericalady just embarassed the field going 10fs in the $1 million Del Cap

Commentator has two Whitneys.

Funny Cide has a Derby and Preakness

Any Given Saturday has a Haskell score over Curlin and Hard Spun

Flower Alley has a Travers win and a 2nd in the BC Classic.

It was either the jockey or a thrown shoe.

Two Questions:
1) Do you think the fact that he won a race named the Salvator Mile is what gave him that extra something special to be a great sire?

2) Do all of those big victories by his progeny make up for the fact that he also is the one responsible for the creation of Cowtown Cat?

Wow. Has there been a 120 in the last five years? Didn't Lawyer Ron get a monster Beyer in the same race last year before it was adjusted down?

That's not his top - he ran a 123 in the last Whitney. Ghostzapper also ran faster and probably a few others that I can't think of.

Because the wildly overrated Ginger Punch, and the complete bums she beat, went so slow - it makes it almost impossible to not have the Whitney in the 116-to-120 range without cutting races loose and making hack redboard style of figures.
