Are KY breds better overall than NY breds...well of course. But, that certainly wouldn't keep me from buying a nice NY bred who was fast and could win or breeding good NY horses.

hard to take funny cide over empire maker, but i see your point. ny needs better stallions though. they just don't have anything to offer. the fact is there are less than 20 ny bred millionaires and i do not think there has ever been a horse of the year that was a ny bred. if i am correct they keep changing the rules in ny to even be considered a ny bred.

chief seattle is the only top 100 sire standing in NY and shillelagh slew has earned him everything racing in Canada. even Maryland has better stallions.
