Happy Birthday Storm Cat!

Even though the universal birthday for Thoroughbreds in North America is Jan. 1st, today is a very special day. 30 years ago, one of Secretariat's best foals Terlingua foaled a Storm Bird colt in PA. That colt, Storm Cat would become a G1 winner, but more importantly a very successful stallion. With that, a very Happy 30th Birthday to Storm Cat!

Here is his Young America win over the likes of Danzig Connection and Groovy: http://youtu.be/j3LKPbqWxF8

Also as a special treat, some of my favorite Storm Cat foal races.

Storm Flag Flying winning the race named in her grandmother's honor, the Personal Ensign: http://youtu.be/yB4HEie5Jy4

Cat Thief winning the 1999 Classic and helping his stablemate Charismatic (who is a grandson of Storm Bird himself) lock up Horse of the Year: http://youtu.be/omuvdzdAl1A

Bluegrass Cat winning the Haskell: http://youtu.be/CBPznvxXD-8

A stakes history post will be coming in the next few days.
