You all make some good points and I understand your insight. #$%^(*&^%$#$%!!!

Don't forget about Spanky Fischbein (another Hook and Ladder.)

I saw Hook And Ladder one time in the paddock at the spa. Kimmel was saddling him. As I recall he was slightly built.

He's a nice looking hoss IMO. Pretty 'racey' looking, but he seems to have a decent amount of bone and a nice shoulder.

There were quite a few horses at the two-year-olds in training sales last year by Hook and Ladder that could really run. Some of them are nice hosses.

Sons of Dixieland Band seem to do OK at stud... I wonder how the Bowman's Band two year olds are going to look this year when they hit the track.

Here's a neat bloodhorse comparison of the 2...

note: Scroll down to the comparison section. If you enter Hook And Ladder you can then compare him to Bowmans Band, etc. Purty cool.

H & L has done well. He deserves credit. You'd think the Bowman's Band juvis should do well also. BB looks stockier than H&L.

The NY State Breeding and Development Fund provides an incentive to breed to NY stallions. If you breed to a NY stallion your breeder/owner awards are 20% of purses earned, and if by an out of state stallion the award is 10% of purse earned. The breeder has the option of trying for the bigger breeder awards or higher quality stallions. There is nothing devious about the rules. They are very straightforward.
