Default Hook and Ladder

I'm looking for some details on Hook and Ladder. He raced before I got interested in this sport but I know a bit about him as a sire. I recently came into possession of a souvenir from him and really like it. Would love to know more about him.

On a side note, there is a winery here in California called Hook and Ladder and they have some really great wines. May end up trying to trade them what I have for some wine! ;-)

Do a search on this board. DrugS had a post a couple of years back about John Shirreffs and his stats with debuting horses.

Hook And Ladder was one of them. Got a huge Beyer first time out in CA for 505 Farms. Ended up being sold to NY connections and trained by John Kimmel.

Hook and Ladder looked spectacular in his earliest days.

I thought he was going to do much more than he did.
