Happy 30th Birthday Gulch !

[nijinski]

Grade 1 champion and sire of Kentucky Derby winner Thunder Gulch . Out
of only two foals from the hard knocking mare Jameela .
So glad he is living out his pensioned years at Old Friends ! I truly enjoyed
watching him through the mid to late 80's ! Happy Birthday !

Christ! Has it been THAT LONG?!!!!!

LOL , Yes it has !
Funny how he won the Wood while in Jolley's barn but was no threat
in the Derby . Seemed to be several other Derby candidates who were
more suited to shorter distances that year 87 .
Brant brought him to Lukas later and he found his comfort
zone , ending up as a champion sprinter .

Lukas also conditioned his son Thunder Gulch to win the Derby , Belmont , Swaps and Travers !.
