...from the Loblolly Stable of Mr Anthony, who did Ok in Triple Crown races

First there was Temp Hill, Belmont winner trained by Mr Charlsie Cantey

Chuckpasser's scramble horse and another Loblolly Preakness winner had the same
initials...

Since Chuck's feeling quizzy, who can name the last Derby winner to sire a Derby
winner? This deceased stallion also has sired a Preakness and a Belmont winner.

Speaking of Derby winning stallions from 1980 on,IMO only 2 Derby winners went
forward as influential studs: The quiz answer and Sunday Silence, who of course
did his best work while getting bred to only top broodmares in Japan. Have
always wondered what SS could have done given a more substantial stateside
opportunity.

And going back into the '70s, some would say that of the 3 Triple Crown winners
only Slew equaled his ontrack brillance in the stallion barn. Perhaps the
biggest disappointment from the 70s was the colt his trainer called the "best
horse to look through a bridle;" he ended up as an undistinguished stud in New
York State. No argument to those who mention Alydar's race and stud record.

Enough history: Can a TG sheet reader with more experience than me (almost all
of you) tell me if there has ever been a colt who has started his career as
impressively as the good looking Curlin, who has hung up 4 "l'oeufs" in his
first 4 races? Not a Preakness endorsement, just an observation

L'oeuf is French for "egg". This is where we get the term "love" in tennis
scoring, meaning zero. Extra points though if someone can tell me why tennis
scoring progresses from 15 to 30 to 40, and not 45. I have asked some tennis
authorities and no one can solve this one for me.
