At least he was second in a stakes race at Santa Anita before he got hurt. Okay sort of local sire in CA. Actually has more of a turf pedigree than anything - dam by The Minstrel, second dam a top 2yo in Ireland who beat the boys in the Phoenix S(G1).

Flying Sensation's only win was the Cal Cup Juvie, at 8.5f. Was also 3rd in the G1 Hollywood Futurity and a couple of G3s. Calbred son of Flying Paster (heard of him?) out of a listed SW.

Had you heard of Slewacide before Funny Cide showed up?

Had I heard of Slewacide? No, but I had heard of Distorted Humor.
Listen, you know a LOT more about this stuff than I do, but wouldn't you agree with me that being by Perfect Mandate and out of a Flying Sensation mare isn't exactly an overwhelming pedigree?
I know that on-the-track success does not always determine quality in the shed, but again I ask you, how many top-level horses come from a pedigree where their sire and broodmare sire combined for only one lifetime win? That would be pretty strange wouldn't it?
