The 3yo's are finally starting to look less horrible

I looked up a few old races of Sidney's Candy's 2nd dam (Exchange) ... who can forget the most dreadful creation of all ... the jockey cam! As seen at 1:23 into the following clip.

Exchange was a really game filly, but not really the most talented runner of all time. I always thought of her as a Spawr juice job.

A nice juiced overachiever who could run on dirt or turf, and I think had some decent sprint races in her career.

Forget about talent ...

If the sire is Candy Ride and the dam sire is Storm Cat .. it's a huge plus when the 2nd dam won 15-for-30 - could go 1 1/2 miles - could run well on any surface - and was considered an iron horse.

Few pedigrees shout 'probably unsound' more than a Candy Ride to Storm Cat.
