Theres two scrambled horses in that scramble quiz and an implication to a third horse and finally an implied deduction to a fourth horse.

Halo Crowns Angel Secretariat Six Rowdy

Unbridled: Grindstone, Red Bullet and Empire Maker....Grindstone also sired Belmont winner Birdstone

I think Sunday Silence is the leading money winning sire of all time. But thats inflated purses on grass in Japan.

Spectacular Bid, but Alydar sired a slew of top runners, not many went on to be influential sires. Alydar himself was a tremendous sire and the horse that put the last nail in the Dosage Coffin.

By the way "The OTB" guy rated Street Sense as the only horse that didn't qualify on Distance Ability. That said, I'm not so sure Street Sense was not beginning to show signs of distance limitation in that race.
