Well I can read and "Champion" has a distinct meaning in regard to Horse Racing. "Triple Crown Event Winner" or "Triple Crown Winner" have different meanings too. If Miff meant to say a Phipps 3YO Colt has not been effective in the Triple Crown Events recently, he would be correct. But that's not what he said.
As far as breeding goes Distorted Humor may be the hottest item in modern breeding. His stud fee should be greater than Storm Cat, because his get have better potential at the distance and to my eye are more solidly made. Let the Phipps band of mares breed to him and lets see if they show some speed.
