I think so too.  Absolutely.

I'm liking Skippy more and more!        And Secret Oath of course.  

Wow, smarty.  Your data is so fabulous.  Thank you for the food for thought!

thank you, You are Welcome, and good luck !

Preakness Stakes

How Message 1148 did in the Preakness
Performance on The Track did the best
easily The Tri in 1st 3, and the super with the next line.
I had a very Good Preakness and the BES / Preakness I had 9 with all.

Did this help anybody ? Let me know.-

Preakness winner Early Voting 9b P/N :  Mr P/ Tiznow

Gun Runner/ Tiznow : Sire and Bms both improved racing as they got older and this might suggest Early Voting's

best is yet to come. However on a closer look at his pedigree one could say he's a Storm Cat, Nor Dancer and

Princequillo influence. Storm Cat is on each side of the pedigree 4sx3d 18.75% blood 3x4 influence and Remember

Secretariat is His BM sire with the Xfactor Lh from Princequillo. Also Early Voting has Silken Doll 3rd Dam another source

Of Princequillo  and WarAdmiral Thru Chieftain/ Buckpasser Daughter Silken Doll bred to Storm Cat, the 2nd Dams Sire.
The Chart Below Shows a Strong Nearctic Family Blood Line Storm Cat, Nor Dancer, Lyphard, Nearctic with Chieftain on
both sides with The Princequillo Influence.

I'm Showing This because  The Sire/Bms Line alone doesn't tell you who The Mares are and their influence isn't shown
in the Mr P/ Tiznow P/NP  in this case Tiznow Who's Non Phalaris line is Godolphin ..
Who does Early Voting remind you of Gun Runner or Tiznow ?
