She did, but my point was Flame Thrower. Just looking at families over the generations I'd say all 3 have a weakness there. Overall, Curlin probably has a deeper family than Flame Thrower or Spectacular Bid, but still I'd be wary of him at stud until he proves himself.

Here was Street Cry's finest moment of glory.......winning the 2002 Dubai World Cup in blowout fashion...after getting a dream rail-skimming ride from Calvin Bo....oops...that was Jerry Bailey.

If anyones curious, he followed this race up with a 6 1/2 length 118 Beyer romp in the Grade 1 Stephen Foster...and he wasn't even the favorite. Congaree was.

I don't know---I'm probably in the minority...but I see a lot of Street Cry in Street Sense when I watch the two of them on film. I steadfastly believe the sire was the better horse of the two--but, Street Sense can still get better, and prove me wrong about that.

No, I will not let it die!

I was trying to resist the last post---but I couldn't. Sorry man.

Street Cry was 2nd fav for that Dubai World Cup race as well (at British odds). He was 9/2 2nd choice behind the 2/5 favourite Sakhee..He beat him 9 lengths..

Whatever happened to Arabian Light? He won the Breeders Futurity in impressive fashion at KEE and was never heard from again. He circled the field and won, something not easy to do at KEE with the shortened stretch for 1 1/16th races.

Pretty sure he was retired to Saudi Arabia. I liked that horse a lot considering that move he made at Keeneland, and I thought he ran pretty strong until the final 1/16 of the Juvy. I was looking forward to seeing him run on the TC trail in '01, but I never heard a thing from him again.
