Fourstardave to me was more a 90s horse, but ok.

thunder rumble was certainly 90s.

Thunder puddles was no Win.

True. Thunder Rumble won the '92 Travers. Was thinking it was like '86. I was young.

There weren't many, regardless- I had actually just looked at a bunch from that era the other day when the question of NYB's in the BC came up. Most of the pedigrees were so nondescript, any that ended up great was sheer luck. Not so these days.

Yeah, clearly things are different.

NY had a lower quality breeding program than Washington state. Also, California, Fla obviously, maybe Maryland and VA too.

I still don't think they should count horses sired by stallions standing in KY as NY breds though.

I had forgotten about Lost Mountain. Loblolly definitely had some nice horses. It was neat how Anthony named most of his horses after obscure Arkansas places.
