Excellent racehorse and sire. Some would say Funny Cide denied him the Triple Crown, as he was the big horse going into that season, with the classic pedigree and high profile trainer, before Funny Cide upset him in the Wood and KY Derby. That was a fun year.

Tremendous racehorse. Great stallion as well produced a bunch of grade 1 winners as well as some great Stallions like pioneer of the Nile who was papa to American pharoah
