It's got every TB bred in the USA going back about 50-60 years. Every mares every foal. It's pretty sweet.

It's really awesome for when you're bored and just start putting in names of runners you liked at one time or another...amazing how many runners you find that are related to one another in some way that you'd never have thought.

Pretty much the coolest thing ever, in a nerd-out kind of way.

PS - I still like Worldly.

For those interested, CD maiden winner Tiz Chrome makes his debut for Bob Baffert Saturday in the Stuka Stakes at HP. Noticeably absent is stablemate Conveyance, who also passed on the Futurity and hasn't breezed in over 10 days.

I see 2 yr old colt Harvath won his debut at Laurel on Thursday. What struck me is that he has Ole Bob Bowers, sire of John Henry, in his pedigree. That is a rare pleasure to behold.

Tiz Chrome crushed today, getting 6.5f in 1:14+ over a track playing very fast. Showed some ability to settle as well, after having gone wire-to-wire in his debut at CD.

Why did this horse RNA for so little?

Must have some identifiable physical issue. I wouldn't be surprised if more than just Baffert went after the colt and ended up backing out after inspection.

Similar situation to The Pamplemousse last year. Predictably, he didn't last long. But he did make some noise.

I don't know why he sold for so little as a yearling. I heard the purchase price after his maiden win was $600k.
