Skywalker get temperament? With Storm Cat?

What I'm trying to find out is how much he diluted the Storm Cat temperament. And what kind of minds he tended to pass on.

I have a Skywalker broodmare. She was a tough racehorse, minor stakes winner of almost $200,000. I bred her to Sea of Secrets (Storm Cat) and got the craziest, untrainable, intractable racehorse to ever see a starting gate. I blamed that result on Sea of Secrets , who sires many headstrong horses. That horse is now a junior hunter and seems to be thriving.

I bred her to Tribal Rule (Storm Cat) a couple of breedings later, I wasn't ready to give up on Storm Cat. That foal is now a coming 2 year old, with a completely different temperament from his older half sib.

So I would assume the temperament of the foal would depend on which Storm Cat stallion you choose. The Storm Cat/Skywalker cross is highly rated.
