    Interesting fact about California Chrome

    He is a descendant of the greatest race horse ever, Secretariat he has Secretariats blood running through his veins. Secretariat of course has to date records in the Derby, Preakness and Belmont.

    I know the horse buffs know this but thought some of you might find this piece of history interesting.

    I believe (could be wrong as I havent fact checked) that Smarty Jones was the last triple crown candidate that was a descendant of Secretariat.

    secretariat is genghis khan in the horse world.

    wouldn't surprise me if 50% of the race horses have his blood in them...

    You may be right but he's the only colt running for the triple crown. So it's a relevant fact. But well, well played, sir

    Secretariat is the dam sire of AP Indy and Storm Cat, two of the most
    prolific sires of the past 20 years and Gone West a well above average sire
    Union Rags, Summer Bird and Rags to
    Riches are all Belmont winners with Secretariat blood since Smarty Jones..
    I'll look at the Derby and Preakness tomorrow

    Storm Cat. A horse that won only 570k winning 4 of 8 lifetime but produced so many winners as a sire His breeding fee was 500k per mare.

    In racing insemination I believe is still illegal. Horses have to bump uglies. Anyone ever read about buddy the teaser at clairborne farms years ago? That story would make you laugh so hard you cry


    kraken on an OKC note I am hearing Ibaka wants to play and team is not allowing, is that true?

    One of the best ones IMO is Nearco. Sired in 1935 he is the paternal
    grand sire of Northern Dancer and Bold Ruler. What a legacy that is to
    leave behind. BR of course the sire of Secretariat and great grandsire
    of Seattle Slew. This makes AP Indy 4x3 to BR I believe

    Summer Squall should also be mentioned. Half brother to AP Indy, he was the dam sire
    of the above mentioned Summer Bird. He is also the sire of Charismatic who won the Derby
    and was horse of the year in 1999. He died in 2009

    Nearco is also the maternal great great grandsire of Mr Prospector meaning
    his blood is running through all 3 major sire lines of the last half of
    the 20th century.. Northern Dancer, Bold Ruler and Mr Prospector.. Wasn't
    aware of this.. quite amazing
