Storm Cat in the Sire of Derby Winners ?

[The Biscuit]

I think I read somewhere that for years no horse won the Derby with Storm Cat being a part of his sire line ?



Please someone correct me if I'm wrong ?



but



in 4/5 years ... Storm Cat has popped up in each Derby Winner's Sire Line all of a sudden ?



2019 .. No Storm Cat in Sire line for both CH and MS





There are several contenders ty with Storm Cat in Sire Line ....

Keepinthemind ...if in



Soup and Sandwich



Crowded Trade


RYW

I think it was a big donut for Storm Cats until American Pharoah. Not sure if it was ever really a thing or just being “unlucky.” I guess in horse racing something is a “thing” until it’s not, like I will let a Dubai horse beat me before I give one serious consideration. With Justify and AP not sure you can really count out Storm Cat, that’s my take.

Thx for the reply .... I agree .... in horse racing .... it's a play for or against , until it's not ....

Theses are the stallions whose offspring have not produced a winner of the Kentucky Derby despite multiple attempts:

• Tapit (0 Wins from 11 runners)
• Curlin (0 Wins from 8 runners)
• Giants Causeway (0 Wins from 8 runners)
• Candy Ride (0 Wins from 7 runners)
• Tiznow (0 Wins from 7 runners)

Interesting notes on the sires. I’d prefer a larger sample around 30 starts before making conclusions with any degree of confidence. Storm Cat had a lot of runners before Justify broke that sire line jinx. AP had it on dam sire side only. Some sites probably do have slower developing horses but any evidence I have is only anecdotal.... like Tapits excelling in Belmont.

Agree bro .... 30 is a better # to go by than 7 runners ..... thanks for your reply .....BOL ty .....
