Would you rather win a Kentucky Derby of BC Classic?

All of the high dollar Stud Horses going now did nothing in the Derby. The high dollar fees are who right now? How many of them are Derby winners? I know that there are less Derby winners than the rest of them but hey it's going to happen that way. I'll go against the last 15 Derby winner 's with the last 15 BC Classic winners all day long. And if Cigar wasn't shooting blanks I'd be the winner in a landslide. Two geldings in the last how many Derby's? I wonder how many BC Classic winners were Geldings? I'm too lazy to look. H ah aha ha ahaaha aha

How bout yesterday's race; the Met Mile. Very good milers on the track are the breeding future.

The myth that great milers make great sires is just that, a myth. Who are the great sires that were milers?

Umm well Dr Fager, Fappiano, Storm cat was most effective at that distance, ummmm that alone should give you a pretty good start!!!!

As for Dr. Fager, he owned track records at 9F and 10F, in fact many consider when he beat In Reality at 10F, the best race of his career.

Storm Cat wasn't a miler. He really wasn't anything.

Don't know enough about Fappiano, but can't remember more than one or two good Fappianos.


If those are the only three you can come up with, I think I made my point.

From the ones I can see

Fappiano
Fit to Fight
Gulch(x2)
In Excess
Honour and Glory
Langfuhr

I believe Danzig was in his very short career, also more recently Gulch, but some may say he isn't great yet. The future wave of great sire will probably be milers.

The future wave will contain very few milers. It will be all classic distance horses.

Smarty Jones, FuPeg, GZ, Giants Causeway, are the 4 horses that will dominate the next decade.

My sleeper who we invested in heavily this year is Grand Slam, who I believe will become one of the elites in the next few years.

Both Smarty and FuPeg were out of very good milers. Grand Slam wasn't a bad one himself, but didn't win over a mile an a eighth did he?
