Storm Cat was one of my favorite horses. I remember being at the Meadowlands when he beat Danzig Connection in the Young American.

They are right about how he looks. I saw him at Overbrook Farm last October and he looked great for his age.

Just heard Steve talking about this on the show.
He is one of my favorites too.
I'm sad there won't be anymore Storm Cats after these foals, but glad for him, hope he has a long happy retirement on the farm.
I'm so mad at myself now..they had a storm cat halter for auction at the fundraiser at the Fairgrounds for EJ Perrodin. Dallas Stewart and David Carroll got into a bidding war and I conceded, with I hadn't now.

In a "how the game has changed" trivia question, who trained the first two finishers in the 1985 Breeders' Cup Juvenile (and what be the odds that they would accomplish that feat in today's game)?

I feel like Drysdale trained Tasso and, of course, Sheppard trained Storm Cat.

Your feel is correct.
