The end of an era, altho both storm cat and sadler's wells still have a few crops left to hit the track. storm cat isn't quite the best this continent has ever seen, but sadler's wells was an amazing stallion, and a legend in his own time. amazing what northern dancer accomplished-a very good racehorse who became a fabulous sire, and then sired the top (ever?) euro stud, and sired the top north american stallion by stakes winners in danzig-who in turn sired the only stallion to really give sadler's wells a run in europe, the too soon lost danehill.
