could very well be this generations storm cat without the actual storm cat.

has possibly the best 2 handicap division horses in the country in his first crop.

Very excited to see more of his kids. VERY excited to see the Z baby

It's a little early to compare him to Storm Cat but he is off to a great start.
He's continuing a line of excellent sires. Moreso, a dominance of the AP Indy/Mr P line stallions.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but Bernardini had a book of mares significantly better than Storm Cat did in those earlier years. I think instead of being so excited by how well he's done, he's met those expectations based on the book he had (that is MY opinion).
