Pickup up a copy of Post Time this weekend and between the pictures of publisher Gene Stevens there was an excellent article on the success those horses had in 1998. The primary theme was how Distorted Humor is off to such a good start as a stallion and appears to have a very good future for his current owner Winstar Farm. Also with Victory Gallop being a son of Cryptoclearance, the same sire as BC Classic winner Volponi, this is going to be a stallion in demand.

Thinking back that really was some year with Distorted Humor a track record settor at Churchill Downs going 7 furlongs, after having demolished a good field in the Commonwealth Breeders Cup at Keeneland.

Victory Gallop, later in the day, was a poorly ridden second in the Ky Derby. Then was a properly ridden winner of the Belmont Stakes.

DaHoss being a gelding has no stallion career but now that he has been given a five year freshening maybe Dickenson can bring him back again this fall for another BC Mile win. What is he now about 13?

As far as the owners go, the people at Prestonwood and Winstar are the some of the classiest people around. The comparison really becomes quite embarrassing when you go the other board and the best they have to offer after being in the business all these years is "Hot Wells". What a joke.

But then again not really because the joke is on the customers of the other product. You see Hot Wells was also owned by a borderline hustler, Mike Warren who was banned from the Belmont Stakes with Hot Wells. Warren in case you have forgotten is the same guy who sells bad football selections but tells the public he wins 80% of the time.

Hey it just dawned on me, Warren must have taught those guys a thing or two about marketing and the front page graphic is his reward.

PT Barnum was correct, "There is a sucker born every minute".
