[Doc]

Believe it or not, my favorite sire to play from a handicapping standpoint is Cee's Tizzy. Love it when I see a Cee's Tizzy on the East Coast.

J/K

Yay, Cesario! I like A.P. Indy too. I saw him run and he had major determination. If a horse came alongside, A.P. would flatten his head and neck and dilate his nostrils. It was inspiring to see and many of his kids are doing well.

Distorted Humor....he throws straight runners!!!!

I like Hennessey

Pulpit

Last month at the Keeneland Broodmare sale, Madcap escapade sold for 6.1 Million dollars. I have read stories that she is in Foal to Pulpit.....and I read it was AP Indy.

Now I read she was covered by both...:confused:

Handicapping stats can be misleading. They credit Pulpit with 20% winners from 2YO's this year. That's 20% from all his foals in 06. Of 66, only 25 went to post , and from that 25, 13 of them won... That is 52%. Putting those numbers in perspective. Those 25 starters ran 77 races total. Avg just over 3 each. So they win... they win early, and they win big. Those 13 winners generated 700 grand in purse earnings.

From Keeneland Web Site
Second-highest price of the Monday session was $6 million, paid by John Sikura’s Hill ‘n’ Dale Bloodstock for the Grade 1 stakes-winning mare Madcap Escapade, sold in foal to Pulpit.
