Storm Cat - Xtra Heat 2yo colt

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Debuts at Laurel later on today.

The horse brought just $125K at KEE APR --- a mere 375K less than Storm Cat's listed stud fee.

Is he crooked or what? Or perhaps he scoped bad?

I don't think any of her babies have sold well. I saw Southwestern Heat or whatever his name is at Taylor Made and wasn't all that impressed.

Did she foal in 2006 and 2007?

SW Heat ran awfully well at Pimlico on Preakness day. He's on the improve, for certain, after sort of disappointing early.

Perhaps this one was underrated at the sale? Working up a storm and this field ain't much. 3-1 ML seems fair.

He had to be crooked or something... a lot of Storm Cats are though.

I know... and there are SO many sons of Storm Cat at stud right now... really scares me. The breed doesn't need to be inundated by an overrated and infirm sire like it will be if they remain popular after he passes.

Yes- an EQ in '06 and an Unbridled's Song in '07.

Well, maybe she's passed on her tremendous ability to sell poorly.

She sold three different at public auctions:

* Weanling - '98 KEE NOV she brought $9,100

* Yearling - '99 OBS AUG she brought $4,700

* 2-year-old - '00 FT MAY she brought $5,000

She proceed to win seven stake races in her two-year-old season after selling for 5K in late May of that season.

as I recall, and correct me if I'm wrong, but xtra heat was little and not very pretty with almost no pedigree....three strikes rule.

Yes, but, she was quick and was also kin to a multiple Graded Stakes placed two-year-old. Star spritners rarely sell for peanuts at 2yo sales.

I loved how Jerry Brown would say that he wanted to buy her off of the numbers and pattern she had on thoro-graph, but she failed the vet so he didn't.

The same was true at the 2yo sale from what I've heard.

On my way up to saratoga right now, just occurred to me another reason to play laurel today- 10 percent takeout! Support them!!

I saw him up close in the stall at the Kee Sep yearling sale in 2005. He was REALLY short, but extremely muscular.

Like to think he could still win a graded stake one of these days.

I thought he was built like a pitbull. Not fond of those types.
