What horse owns the second longest length victory next to Secretariat's 31 length romp in the Belmont. It was his maiden breaker at Belmont in the summer of '89...one word name and made his next start at Saratoga in the race after Easy Goer's Whitney triumph.

Good luck to someone getting that one off the top of their head.

The margin was 29 lengths and he was a N.Y. bred

Who is the only son of Storm Cat to win a Grade I in New York and California?

No--I am trying to find the answer. A man at our local thoroughbred meeting asked this question and none of us knew.

Tobasco Cat was 2nd in the SA Derby, won the Grade III Real Derby and won the Grade II San Rafael.

At first I thought this couldnt be right, but the more I research this the more i am beginning to think there really is only 1--which is hard to believe.

The answer is a funny one....Good Reward.

Hollywood Derby and Manhattan.

Out of 1020 foals he has had only one son win a Grade I in New York and Cali. That is sort of unreal.

Wow---great job BTW. There is no way I would have ever of guessed him. Now that is a pretty good trivia question.

If Kirisclown was here he would have gotten it instantly.

eurobounce 12-20-2006 10:43 PM

He is standing at Three Chimneys for $15k live foal. Not too bad of a price. He was very durable for a Storm Cat off spring.

I actually bet him in the Hollywood Derby. That was a race that the jockey, Bailey, had a LOT to do with winning. I guess you could say the same for the Manhattan.

Funny that Heavenly Prize, and Storm Cat, would win Grade 1s on the turf.
